Value 1 Entries Tab

Value 1 properties refer to the first of the four currency values that can be held on each transaction. This is the base currency, also known as book currency, and is a fixed currency for the business unit. It is the only mandatory currency value required on every transaction and is usually the national currency of the country in which the business unit is based.
See Understanding the Transaction Currency Values.
Base Currency Name
The name to be used to identify the base currency.
Base Currency
The currency code of the base currency for the business unit. A base currency value is required on every transaction that enters the system.
Note: If this currency has not been defined using Currency Codes Setup (CN), it is added automatically.
Base Currency Post Rule
The posting rule that controls whether or not the base currency value must be entered manually on each ledger posting transaction. Two options are available for the base currency:
  • Must be entered - this option forces a base currency value to be entered manually on every journal transaction.
  • Calculated if not entered - this option means the base currency value can be entered manually, or if it is not entered it is calculated automatically from the other currency values and rates entered, via the pivot currency.
    In a multi-currency environment this defaults to the 'Calculated if not entered' option to allow the base currency value to be calculated from the other currency details available. 
Base Currency Amt Dec Places
The number of decimal places that can be entered for the base currency value. This can be from 0 to 3, depending on the currency.
Base Currency Amount Balancing
The base currency values on all the transactions in a journal must net to zero to ensure the ledger is always balanced. This means the total of the debit transactions must equal the total of the credit transactions. Sometimes these totals may not be exactly the same, for example because of currency conversion rounding differences. This option determines how this imbalance is corrected. Two options are available:
  • Manual - the user must manually balance the base currency values in the journal.
  • Automatic - the system posts the amount of the imbalance to one of the Base Currency Balancing accounts, depending on whether the difference is a debit or credit value. 
The following three entries are only required if Automatic balancing is selected.
 1. Rounding Threshold
This amount is used as a tolerance check if the Automatic balancing option is being used. If the amount of the imbalance is greater than this amount, it cannot be posted automatically. This prevents very large postings being made under the guise of rounding errors. For example, if an incorrect exchange rate has been used to calculate a base currency value.
 2. Credit Balancing Account
The ledger account to which any base currency balancing transactions with a credit value is posted. If you leave this blank, all balancing transactions are posted to the Debit/Net Balancing account.
 3. Debit/Net Balancing Account
The ledger account to which any base currency balancing transactions with a debit value is posted.
Note: Normally these entries are made before the chart of accounts is created. You must ensure these accounts are created and are not Memo accounts. Otherwise, error messages are displayed during posting.
Write On/Write Off Details
The Write On/Write Off feature is a method of dealing with imbalances in the matching functions of Account Allocation, On-line Allocation and Transaction Matching. If this feature is switched on, and the amounts being matched are within the specified tolerance, the difference is automatically posted to the specified account. If in addition, exchange differences are generated in the process, then separate transaction lines are generated with the description indicating that they are exchange differences.
Write On/Write Off Balancing
Check this check box to turn on the Write On/Write Off feature. This also turns off the usual discount processing as the Write On/Write Off feature is an alternative to the normal discount processing.
Write On/Write Off Tolerance
The amount of difference which is allowed to be matched as Write On/Write Off.
Write On Account
The account to which the Write On amount is posted. If you leave this blank, all Write On/Write Off amounts are posted to the Write Off/Net Account.
Write Off/Net Account
The account to which the Write Off amount is posted. If no Write On Account is specified, all Write On/ Write Off amounts are posted to this Account.
