As If Currency Processing

These general ledger inquiry programs have processing options that allow you to review general ledger accounts using as if currency processing:

  • Account Ledger Inquiry (P09200).

  • Account Inquiry by Object Account (P09201).

  • Account Inquiry by Category Code (P09202).

You can review as if amounts associated with the domestic ledger (AA) or any other ledger. However, be aware that if you view amounts for the foreign currency ledger (CA), the amounts are meaningless unless you specify a currency. This is because the CA ledger contains more than one currency, and as if processing is designed to convert only one currency at a time.

One of the advantages of as if currency processing is that it does not impact disk space. The amounts that you review or print are not written to a table, but instead are stored in temporary memory.

Note: Reviewing transactions in an as if currency is different from reviewing transactions created by balance currency restatement. As if currency processing was not designed for purposes of balance currency restatement.
