Rates and rules

Translate data in line
with group policies.

Assign rates to periods and item types. In this example, the company's EUR receivables are translated at the closing rate and revenue at the average rate.

  • Choose the package currency and the group currency
  • Set the rate for each item category
  • Check the amount before and after translation

FX impact

How much came from the rate,
and how much from sales?

The company's revenue grew from EUR 3.5m to EUR 3.8m. At the comparative rate, the increase would be PLN 1.26m. The rate change added PLN 0.38m to the reported value.

Company revenue · PLN mValue
Comparative period (EUR 3.5m × 4.20)14.70
Revenue change at the comparative rate+1.26
Impact of the rate change from 4.20 to 4.30+0.38
Current period (EUR 3.8m × 4.30)16.34
↗

The FX-netting-adjusted result is PLN 15.96m (14.70 + 1.26). The FX effect of +0.38 closes the bridge: 14.70 + 1.26 + 0.38 = PLN 16.34m.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about multi-currency consolidation.

Can companies submit data in different currencies?

Yes. Each company submits its package in its own currency, and the model translates the data into the group's reporting currency.

Can the balance sheet and P&L use different rates?

Yes. You assign rates to item types – e.g. balance sheet items at the closing rate, and revenue and costs at the period's average rate.

What does the FX effect show?

It shows how much of the change in the reported value comes from exchange rate movements and how much from an actual change in results in local currency.

How can I check the impact of rate changes on revenue?

A constant-rate comparison separates the change in sales from the currency impact, so you can see how much of the difference comes from the rate.

Which rate should I use for the budget comparison?

Usually the rate assumed in the budget. This lets you separate the FX effect from other variances against the plan.

How does translation fit with intercompany eliminations?

Company data is first translated into the group currency, and then intercompany balances and transactions are reconciled and eliminated in that same currency.
