Use the Translation ledger account rules form to set up translation rules for ledger accounts. These rules are used to correlate a source company’s accounts with a target company’s accounts, and they include conversion rules for currency and dimensions.

  1. Click General ledger > Setup > Translation > Ledger account rules.

  2. In the Rule group field, select the translation group that account conversion rules are configured for. You can set several conversion rules for one translation group.

  3. On the Overview tab, in the To account field, select the ledger account from the target company’s chart of accounts to which the source company’s transactions are translated.

  4. In the Main account field, select the ledger account of the source company for translation.

    Note

    Depending on your entries in the Offset account and Crediting fields, the following transactions are translated:

    • All transactions.

    • Only debit account transactions.

    • Only credit account transactions.

    • Account transactions that are related to the specified account.

    • Debit account transactions that are related to the specified credit offset account.

    • Credit account transactions that are related to the specified debit offset account.

  5. In the Crediting field, select the type of transactions to translate, from the following options:

    • No – Translate only debit account transactions.

    • Yes – Translate only credit account transactions.

    Note

    Leave this field blank to translate both credit and debit transactions.

  6. In the Offset account field, select the source company’s offset account.

    Note

    Leave this field blank to select transactions that have an offset account.

  7. In the Currency group field, update the code for the currency conversion group. If the default currency group is configured for the translation rule group that is selected in the Rule group field, the value is displayed.

  8. In the Dimension group field, update the code for the dimension conversion group. If the default dimension group is configured for the translation rule group that is selected in the Rule group field, the value is displayed.

  9. In the Priority field, update the priority that is configured for the rule. If the default priority is selected for the translation rule group that is selected in the Rule group field, the value is displayed. The priority determines the order in which rules are processed during translation. The rule that has the lowest priority is processed first.

  10. On the General tab, in the Posting type field, select a voucher type to translate only transactions that have that voucher type. For example, when Petty cash is selected in the Posting type field, only transactions in the bank module are translated.

  11. In the Posting type field, select a voucher type to translate only transactions that have that voucher type for the offset account.

  12. In the Posting layer field, select a type of transaction to translate only transactions that have that accounting type.

  13. In the Only reversing entry field, select Yes to translate only reversing transactions, or select No to translate regular transactions.

    Note

    Leave this field blank to translate both regular and reversing transactions.

  14. In the To posting layer field, select the accounting type that the translated transactions are assigned to in the target company.

  15. Click Initialize to open the Initialize form, and then click Select to set up the selection criteria.

  16. Click OK to automatically create a line that has an account translation rule for all the ledger accounts for the target company.
