You are implementing Oracle General Ledger at a client site. The client is based in the U.S. but has a global presence in many countries worldwide, and has transactions in multiple currencies. The implementation team decides that GL multi currency setup will be part of the implementation. One of the companies in Europe has a requirement to maintain account balances both in U.S. dollar and in euros, and for this purpose they have to enter each transaction twice in their present system, once in U.S. dollars and then again in euros. The Controller wants a system where transactions can be entered only in one currency, and then be automatically converted into another currency. Additionally they need the flexibility to enter different exchange rates for different types of accounts. He wants to know whether this requirement cold be fulfilled. What is your response?
