FX_OVERRIDE(%from_ovr_acc%,

%to_ovr_acc%,

%fx_diff_acc%,

%CURR%)

This formula can be used to override the default translation of a given account. The difference from the default translation value is posted into a translation difference account.

Parameters:

%from_ovr_acc% The account from which to read the overriding amount

%to_ovr_acc% The account to override

%fx_diff_acc% The account used to post the difference from default

%CURR% The reporting currency of the overriding amount

General remarks:

  • This formula does not require a lookup.

  • It can be invoked multiple times before a commit.

  • It MUST be executed AFTER the default translation.

  • The section MUST NOT contain any clear_destination instruction.

To use this formula, enter one or more lines in the logic that call this formula with the appropriate parameter values, as in the following example:

End of the example.
