Mass Additions
While logged into a primary responsibility, if you are loading the
FA_MASS_ADDITIONS table with data from a legacy system (a feeder
system other than Oracle Payables or Oracle Projects), you must also
load the FA_MC_MASS_RATES table. This also applies if you are
loading the FA_MASS_ADDITIONS table from Payables, Projects, and
Receivables environments that are not MRC–enabled. For each mass
addition line in FA_MASS_ADDITIONS, you need to provide exchange
rate information in the FA_MC_MASS_RATES table for each reporting
set of books associated with the corporate book into which the assets
will be added.
Note: To avoid rounding errors in your reporting set of books,
we recommend that you use a calculated rate whenever the
original asset transaction currency is the same as your reporting
currency. For example, assume your primary functional
currency is euro and your reporting functional currency is
French francs. Also assume you have an asset that originally
cost 1,000 FRF. The euro equivalent of this amount, using the
fixed rate between the euro and the franc (6.55957), is 152.45
EUR.
If you enter 6.55957 for the EUR to FRF rate in the
FA_MC_MASS_RATES table, MRC will record the amount
1,000.01 in the FRF reporting set of books (i.e., 152.45 EUR X
6.55957 = 1000.006 = 1000.01 rounded). This will result in a .01
FRF rounding difference between the amount recorded in your
reporting set of books and the original asset transaction amount.
