Business value

When companies operate in multiple countries or regions, they need to do business and prepare financial reports with the dimensions they set up for reporting.

Feature details

In the previous release, 2023 wave 2, we improved the currency exchange rate adjustment batch job so you can control the posting of dimensions assigned to the adjustment entries.

In 2024 release wave 1, you see the same concept when you submit payments to invoices in foreign currencies. A setting on the Application FastTab on the General Ledger Setup page controls the dimensions assigned to entries that you post to realized gains and losses accounts. The Dimension Posting setting has three options:

  • Source Entry Dimensions: G/L entries for realized gains and losses have dimension values that the application entry transfers.

    Note

    The application entry is usually the payment entry. For example, when you apply and post payments in journals, the application entry is the payment entry. The application entry can also be an invoice or credit memo if you select them as the applying entry from the customer or vendor ledger entries.

  • No Dimensions: G/L entries for realized gains and losses don't have dimension values.

  • G/L Account Dimensions: G/L entries for realized gains and losses have dimension values that the system transfers from the realized gains and losses G/L account's dimension settings source entry.

Note

We recommend that you discuss with your auditor whether to use the Dimension Posting setting and how to set it up. If you transfer dimensions from applied entries, the system changes the numbers on financial reports.

You can control dimensions on entries posted during applications in the General Ledger Setup page.
