Hi All,

 

Has anyone come across multi company vouchers with multi currencies. I am encountering the below error. As the standard behavior is it not allowed to create the multi company multi currency vouchers. I am getting the below error.

 

 

TIA.

Multi-company voucher creates intercompany debt/liability. Single operation can be expressed in single transaction currency only - in this case if you have company in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, single operation between these companies can be expressed either in SAR or in KWD, but you cannot register AR in one company in SAR and SAME AP in other company in KWD. It makes no sense and would lead to issues in consolidation of balances. 
Intercompany balancing entries (AP10/AP11) generated for multi-company voucher must net each other in transaction currency (accounting currency amount can be different for different currencies) - they are representing same operation.
Multi-currency entry would mean money exchange between companies, and effect on this exchange must be incorporated in buying or selling entity - i.e. we should one voucher group item exchanging SAR to KWD and the second group item transferring SAR or KWD to other entity.

Hello,
I think you should segregate various currencies into separate row groups, so system will process multi-company allocations correctly.

Hello ​@Adam Bereda,

 

Thank you for the reply. Would you mind sharing me how to do it. You mean making the row ID changed manually when creating the voucher?

I tried doing it by changing manually. However, giving me the below error.

Appreciate it if you can update me with a possible solution for this.

Thanks and Regards,
Chandima.

Yes, this is exactly the solution. 
However, In the screenshot you are presenting there is no row company code.
I do not understand what kind of operation you are trying to post and what result do you expect.    
In principle, final voucher must be balanced, and each row group id is kind of separate voucher section which must be balanced as well.

Hi ​@Adam Bereda ,

 

Thank you for the prompt response.

The users want to create multi company voucher with different companies. Hence, they want to enter the currency amount of the other company as well. In that case obviously the voucher is not showing as balanced. Will there be a solution for it.

 

Since Voucher Flow Group Validation is set to ‘No’ will it still need to create separate voucher section?

 

 

Appreciate it if you can share your thoughts on this.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Chandima.

Hi ​@Adam Bereda,

Thank you for the clear explanation. So in this scenario the options we have is to either create the voucher in one accounting currency for both the companies or use two voucher groups and record the debit and credit entries in the different currencies used.

 

Correct me if I am wrong.

Best Regards,

Chandima.

Yes, you should create voucher in one transaction currency (accounting currency amount will be calculated in relevant company) or use two function groups for two operations - one in each currency.
