Multiple Reporting Currencies

Overview: Multiple Reporting Currencies (MRC) is a set of unique features imbedded in Oracle Applications that permits an organization to report in multiple functional currencies. Using MRC, you can maintain and report accounting records at the transaction level in more than one functional currency. You do this by defining one or more reporting sets of books, each associated with a primary set of books. Each set of books has its own functional currency. The following Oracle Applications support Multiple Reporting Currencies: a) General Ledger b) Payables c) Purchasing d) Receivables e) Cash Management f) Projects g) Assets h) Cost Management i) Global Accounting Engine

Use of MRC:
MRC is intended for use by organizations that must regularly and routinely support statutory and legal reporting of both transactions andGeneral Ledger account balances in multiple currenciesother than the primary functional currency. If you only need to report balances in a currency other than your primary functional currency, you can use General Ledger translation.

MRC Features

a) TransactionLevel Conversion
When you enter transactions in Oracle Applications that support MRC, they are automatically converted into your primary functional currency and each of your reporting functional currencies, in accordance with the following: Primary functional currency transactions: All transactions denominated in your primary functional currency are recorded in this currency. The transactions are also converted automatically into each of your reporting functional currencies. Foreign currency transactions: Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are automatically converted into your primary functional currency and into each of your reporting functional currencies as wellunless the foreign currency matches the reporting functional currency (conversion not required).

b) Subledger Transactions
When you enter transactions into Oracle Applications subledgers that support MRC, the transactions are converted into your primary and reporting functional currencies at the time of original entry. The primary functional currency amounts and their associated reporting currency amounts are stored together in your subledgers. You must post subledger transactions to General Ledger in the primary set of books and in each reporting set of books.

c) Inquiry and Reporting in Multiple Currencies Because subledger transactions are converted into your reporting functional currencies at the time of original entry, the converted transactions are available for immediate inquiry and reporting. After you have posted your subledger transactions to General Ledger in the primary set of books and in each associated reporting set of books, you can log into a General Ledger reporting responsibility, post the newly created journals, and report the journals and the account balances of the reporting set of books. When you inquire on account balances and journals in a reporting set of books, you can drill down to the subledger details (in your reporting functional currency), using General Ledgers integrated drilldown features to provide complete and consistent views of underlying subledger transactions. You can drill down from General Ledger to transaction details within Oracle Receivables, Oracle Payables, Oracle Projects, Oracle Assets, Oracle Purchasing, Oracle Inventory, and Oracle Work in Process.

New MRC Architecture: The old MRC schema used before 11.5.10 (APPS_MRC), containing its own objects, is no longer used and was replaced by a more integrated architecture. The upgrade to Release 11.5.10 drops the MRC schema. Auto Patch and the AD Administration utility recognize this fact and no longer maintain the MRC schema. As of Release 11.5.10, the MRC schema is no longer required for Multiple Reporting Currency functionality. It is not necessary to synchronize the MRC schema either before or after you apply the maintenance pack, and you can remove the MRC schema after you complete the maintenance pack application. For some products (like Oracle Assets) the Reporting Responsibilities are obsolete and will not give access to the forms, reports and processes. Instead, the code units are prepared to report in the selected reporting currency from the Primary Responsibility. For other products (like Oracle General Ledger) the Reporting Responsibilities are still needed to access the Reporting Set of Books information. In general the processes that required separated logins (responsibilitiy) and steps for each set of books are now submited in a single step for all sets of books from a single responsibility.

Starting with 11i.AR.M, MRC: Journal Transfer in all sets of books has been obsoleted. The process is to run GL transfer from the AR Primary Responsibility. Note 286714.1, for AR, as per this you only need one responsibility to run the transfer program from the AR to GL. Similarly in the case of Payables (AP), the Payables Transfer to General Ledger program would take care of the transfer from Primary and Reporting Set of Books by setting the Transfer Reporting Book(s) parameter value to Yes

When assigning a Reporting Book to the Primary Book, you may need to define your Conversion Option in the Reporting Book Initialization form. Derive From Original Transaction Rate conversion option is only available when an EMU fixed rate relationship exists between the primary functional currency and the reporting functional currency. For Non EMU Currencies, you would only use the option Use Initialization rate. Check Note 116162.1 for details. 21

Step 7: Define Conversion Option for each Application

Define Conversion Options: Go to GL Responsibility: Setup Financials Books Assign

Few Pointers: From date:

The first date from which MRC will convert transactions to your reporting functional currency. The from date is set on the Conversion Options window for each application In determining which transactions or journals to convert, MRC compares the from date to the: Transaction or journal date for Payables, Receivables, and General Ledger Entered date for Purchasing

22

In the case of upgrade Scenario Two only your first MRC period must be the first future enterable period or, if you do not allow futureenterable periods, the first never opened period in General Ledger for the primary set of books at the time you run the upgrade utilities

Choosing a From Date:

Choosing an appropriate from date differs depending on the application for which you are setting the date. The considerations are the same for General Ledger, Payables, Receivables, and Purchasing. For Assets and Projects, the from date is determined automatically General Ledger, Payables, Receivables, and Purchasing When setting the from date, you should choose a date that precedes the first MRC date and which is early enough to allow you to enter backdated subledger transactions without adversely affecting the account balances in your reporting sets of books. We recommend that you choose a date that precedes the date of the first transaction in each application/operating unit (application only for General Ledger). Note: Backdated subledger transactions are those whose transaction dates precede the first MRC date. If the from date is not sufficiently early, any backdated transaction whose accounting date precedes the From date, will not be converted by MRC to your reporting currencies.

First MRC Date:

This is the first date of the first MRC period. You must initialize the account balances in your reporting sets of books on the first MRC date.

MRC Conversion Business Rules:

When you enter transactions in Oracle Applications that support MRC, they are converted, as needed, into your primary functional currency and each of your reporting functional currencies, as follows:
Primary functional currency transactions: All transactions denominated in your primary functional currency are recorded in this currency. MRC converts the transactions automatically to each of your reporting currencies. Foreign currency transactions: Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted automatically to your primary set of books functional currency by Oracle Applications standard functionality. MRC converts the transactions to each of yourreporting currencies that differ from the transactions foreign currency. MRC generally converts from the transaction currency to your reporting currencies. In some cases, MRC converts from the primary functional currency to your reporting currency. We discuss the reporting currency conversion rules in the next section. We have discussed below few examples on Variable Exchange Rate Relationship: Transaction Currency Same as Primary Currency The following diagram illustrates the conversion business rules that apply when the transaction currency is the same as the primary currency and a variable rate relationship exists between the transaction and reporting currencies:

You receive an invoice for 1,00.00 UK Pounds (GBP) from an UK supplier. Your organization uses corporate rates to account for the invoice in your primary set of books, which is maintained in Indian Rupee (INR).

Example: You receive an invoice for 1,00.00 UK Pounds (GBP) from an UK supplier. Your contract with the supplier was originally negotiated using prices in UK Pounds. The exchange rate used at the time of the agreement was 90 (1 UK Pound = 90 INR). This is also the rate specified on the invoice. Your organization uses corporate exchange rates to convert amounts to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes.

What is the purpose of Inherit Checkbox in conversion options?

Leave the Inherit checkbox unmarked (the default option) to have MRC use the Default Reporting Conversion Type you specified above to determine the rate to use to convert the transaction currency amount to your reporting functional currency. Check the Inherit checkbox to have MRC inherit the conversion type used to determine the rate to convert the transaction currency amount to the primary functional currency. The same conversion rate type will be used to determine the rate to convert the transaction currency amount to your reporting functional currency. Note: This option only applies to transactions that originate in Oracle Payables, Receivables, Purchasing, and Global Accounting Engine. You can also select this option for General Ledger when defining your GL Conversion Rules. Example: You receive an invoice for 1,00.00 UK Pounds (GBP) from an UK supplier. Your contract with the supplier was originally negotiated using prices in UK Pounds. The default conversion rate type used by the Payables Application is Corporate and the exchange rate used at the time of the agreement was 85 (1 UK Pound = 85 INR). This is also the rate specified on the invoice. Your organization uses Reporting exchange rates to convert amounts to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes.

Revaluation:

If you use Multiple Reporting Currencies, you must periodically run Revaluation in your primary and reporting sets of books, as necessary to satisfy the accounting regulations of the country in which your organization operates. There are two methods for using revaluation with MRC: Dont convert: gains and losses arising from revaluation in the primary set of books are NOT converted to your reporting currencies. Convert: gains and losses arising from revaluation in the primary set of books are converted to your reporting currencies

To convert revaluation gains and losses for a reporting set of books: Create a GL conversion rule using these parameters: Convert checkbox: checked Category: Revaluation Source: Revaluation Reporting Conversion Type: choose the value you want No Rate Action: choose the value you want Note: A conversion rule with the Convert checkbox checked, a Category of Other, and a Source of Other will result in the same behavior. If you choose not to convert revaluation for gains and losses, the process to revalue balances requires that you run Revaluation separately in your primary set of books and your reporting sets of books. You also post the resulting revaluation journals in both your primary and reporting sets of books. When the revaluation journal is posted in the primary set of books, there will be no impact on the reporting set of books. This approach represents standard General Ledger functionality, operating independently in each set of books. You only need to run revaluation in a reporting set of books if there are foreign currencies entered transactions in that set of books.

57

GL Conversion Rules Navigation: Setup Financials Books Assign Query the relevant Primary Set of Books and click on Conversion Options. Then place you cursor on General Ledger Application and click on GL Conversion Rules. In this setup the Source and Category has been defined as Other, Other. So, revaluation conversion will happen for the reporting set of books.

Screenshot of the Period rates:

58

The second revaluation method to convert revaluation gains and lossesis explained below: Step 1:
Revalue Primary Set of Books

Run revaluation in your primary set of booksfor selected, foreign currencies. This process computes gains and losses from changes in exchange rates for account balances in your primary set of books that are denominated in a foreign currency. There is no immediate effect in the reporting set of books. This process generates revaluation journal entries by currency for the primary set of books. Note: If there are no foreign currencydenominated balances in the primary set of books, no revaluation journal entries are generated (there is nothing to revalue). Each revaluation journal includes: Lines to adjust the converted amounts of the foreign currency account balances, to reflect the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. The amount needed to balance the journal is recorded as an entry to the exchange gain/loss account you select. Entered amounts are set to zero.
Example:

Primary Functional Currency Reporting Functional Currency Foreign Currency Accounts Date 01-FEB-2005 02-FEB-2005 GBP to INR 85 73

INR USD GBP GBP to USD 1.8888880494 1.7000000001 INR to USD .0217391304 .023287671

Also assume that you defined a GL conversion rule to have revaluation journals converted using the rates for the reporting conversion type Corporate. The related PeriodAvg rate for Feb2005 is .0133333333 (INR to GBP) and the Revaluation rate is 75 (GBP to INR) There are three transactions during September:
Date Account 02-FEB-2005 AR 01-FEB-2005 AP 01-FEB-2005 AP Screen shot showing the Payables Transaction Navigation: Entered 150.00 GBP 100.00 INR 100.00 GBP Accounted 10,950.00 INR 100.00 INR 8,500.00 INR

59

Inquiry Account Query the relevant account for the period and click on Show Journal Details and then click on Drilldown

Screen shot showing the Receivables Transaction

60

When Revaluation is run at the end of Feb05, the new accounted amounts will be:

Date 02-FEB-2005 01-FEB-2005 01-FEB-2005

Account AR AP AP

Entered 150.00 GBP 100.00 INR 100.00 GBP

Accounted 11,250.00 INR 100.00 INR 7,500.00 INR

The effect of the revaluation is an increase in AR of 300.00 INR (a gain) and a decrease in AP of 1,000.00 INR (a gain). This will result in the following revaluation journal in the primary set of books: Account Receivable 300.00 Account Payable 1000.00 Exchange Gain/Loss

1300.00

The entered amounts for all three-journal lines are zero. We will continue to build on this example through the remaining discussion in this section. Screenshot of the revaluation journal created in Primary Set of Books:

61

Step 2:
In the primary set of books, post the revaluation journals generated by Step1

Upon posting, revaluation journals are converted to your reporting currencyin the reporting set of books. For the converted revaluation journals:

The exchange gain or loss of the primary set of books revaluation journal is converted using the related rate for the reporting conversion type you specified for the applicable GL conversion rule. For example, assume you use the reporting conversion type Corporate for your period average rates and you created the following GL conversion rule when you set up your reporting set of books: Convert checkbox: checked Category: Other Source: Other Reporting Conversion Type: Corporate If the primary functional currency is INR, the reporting functional currency is USD, and you run Revaluation for Feb05, your revaluation journals will be converted using the Corporate rate you defined for Feb05. The balancing amount of the reporting set of books revaluation journal is made to the Cumulative Translation Adjusment account. No adjustments are made to other balance sheet accounts. MRC automatically converts the primary set of books revaluation journal entries, balanced by balancing segment and cost center segments, to the reporting set of books. In the reporting set of books, instead of exactly replicating each line of the revaluation journal from the primary set of books, the revaluation journal is modified to consist of the unrealized gain/loss journal lines from the original revaluation journal, with offsetting lines against the cumulative adjustment account. The offsetting cumulative adjustment accounts (journal lines) are also balanced by balancing and cost center segments.

A second revaluation needs to be generated from the reporting set of books to revalue the foreign currency denominated balances vis a vis the reporting currency, but in this case, the revaluation gain/loss account should be set to the CTA account. The difference between the primary and reporting set of books represents a translation adjustment, hence CTA is used as the offsetting account in both the revaluation JE propagated from the primary book, and the revaluation generated directly in the reporting set of books.

Example: Continuing the example introduced in Step 1, the primary set of books revaluation journal will be converted to the reporting set of books as follows: Cumulative Translation Adjustment 30.28 Exchange Gain/Loss 30.28 The gain is computed as 30.28 (gain from primary set of books revaluation journal) times the Corporate rate for Feb05 - 0.023287671 (INR to USD): 1300.00 INR X 0.023287671(Latest Corporate rate for the month of Feb06, in this case 02-Feb-2005) = US$ 30.28 Alternative computation for the Exchange gain/Loss: Convert the Functional currency to foreign currency value by diving the functional currency value by Revaluation rate for the period and then derive the rate of the foreign currency for the reporting set of books by dividing the revaluation rate for the foreign currency by the recent daily rate for the reporting currency. In this case the foreign currency value (GBP) would be 17.33333 (INR 1300/75-Revaluation rate for GBP transaction) Conversion Rate for Reporting SOB: GBP Rate 1.746575325 (75/42.9411769) Multiply foreign currency value by the rate (17.33333 x 1.746575325)

Caution: Perform the remaining steps ONLY if the currency of the original entered amount in the primary set of books is different from the currency of the reporting set of books. Otherwise, no further action is needed in the reporting set of books. Example: In our continuing example, the currency of the original entered amount is GBP. The reporting currency is USD. Since the currencies are different, we would proceed with the remaining steps. Step 4:
Revalue Reporting Set of Books

1. Run Revaluation in the reporting set of books if the currency of the original entered amount in the primary set of books is different from the currency of the reporting set of books. Choose to record any exchange gains or losses to the cumulative translation adjustment account. 2. This process computes gains and losses from changes in exchange rates for account balances in your reporting set of books that are denominated in a foreign currency (i.e., a currency other than the reporting currency). 3. This process generates revaluation journal entries by currency for the reporting set of books. Each revaluation journal includes: Lines to adjust the converted amounts of the foreign currency account balances, to reflect the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. The amount needed to balance the journal is recorded as an entry to the account you select. You should choose the cumulative translation adjustment account. Entered amounts are set to zero.

Example: Continuing our example from the previous steps, note that MRC would have converted the three original transactions, using daily rates as follows:
Date 02-FEB-2005 01-FEB-2005 01-FEB-2005 Account AR AP AP Entered 150.00 GBP 300.00 INR 100.00 GBP Accounted 255.00 USD 6.60 USD 188.90 USD

Since the original entered currency is different from USD, we must revalue these currencies as of Feb05 end to compute any related translation adjustment.

Since the original entered currency is different from USD, we must revalue these currencies as of Feb05 end to compute any related translation adjustment.

FAS-52: The FAS-52 rules require the financial statements of an overseas operation be converted to the parent company currency at the current rate in respect of all assets and liabilities. It can be achieved by running the revaluation program to execute a revision of the balances in the reporting set of books to reflect the current rates. The current revaluation program revalues from the entered/transaction currency to the set of books currency for both primary and reporting sets of books. However, this calculation may result in a material difference for FAS-52 Translation for non-monetary balances.

The profile option GL/MRC Revaluation: Use Primary Currency Instead of Entered Currency would help in achieving the results: The following values are available to you: Yes: The Revaluation program will use the functional currency balances of the primary book to create revaluation entries for the reporting set of books.

67

No: The Revaluation program will use the entered currency balances in the reporting set of books to create the revaluation entries for the reporting set of books. The default value for this profile option is No. You can only view this profile option at the user level. Your System Administrator must set this profile option at the site, application, or responsibility level. Note: This profile option is applicable only for the Reporting SOB. For our example we will set the profile option GL/MRC Revaluation: Use Primary Currency Instead of Entered Currency to Yes at the Responsibility level.
The exchange rate used for the transaction is 0.0210526316 (USD to INR Revaluation rate). The revaluation program will create two journals.

Period Rates:

For the GBP Transaction, the effect of the revaluation is a decrease in AR of $18.16 and a decrease in AP of 31.00 and a net credit of $12.84 to the Exchange Gain/Loss account. This will result in the following revaluation journal in the reporting set of books: Account Receivable Account Payable Exchange Gain/Loss 18.16 31.00 12.84

The entered amounts for all three-journal lines are zero. When Revaluation is run, the new accounting amounts in the reporting set of books for GBP Transactions:
