Displaying Currency Analysis

Use

You wish to display currency analysis evaluations. The display options are explained using the "country" grouping criterion at "group" level.

Features

Initial Screen for Currency Risk

On the initial screen for the currency risk, the system lists the following totals per country key or country:

Historical total = the total of documents posted in foreign currency at the historical exchange rate valid on the posting date

Current total = the total of documents posted in foreign currency at the current exchange rate valid on the evaluation date (key date). Translation is carried out with the exchange rate defined in the system as being valid on the key date

Exchange rate difference = difference between the historical and current total

The country list is sorted in descending order according to the exchange rate difference.

All totals are displayed in client currency, company code currency, or credit control area currency.

In vendor evaluations, all totals are displayed as negative amounts since they are payables. Positive amounts are credit memos, reversals, or down payments already made.
