Concept: Currencies and Currency Translation

Concept: Currencies and Currency Translation

The Workday Financial Management data that you report on might use different currencies for different companies.
By default, Workday uses these currencies in the report you create in OfficeConnect:
  • The ledger currency when you report on a single company.
  • The configured default report currency when you report on any company hierarchy level.
  • The configured default report currency when you select
    Primary Ledger Currency
     from the
    Workbook Properties
    .
You can perform currency translation by dragging a different currency onto a row or column in the report.
OfficeConnect uses the default translation rule set configured in the financial reporting data model when performing currency translation. You can select a different translation rule set by applying a filter to the worksheet or workbook. You apply filters to an individual worksheet or workbook, not to specific rows, columns, or cells.
OfficeConnect stores the currency rates for up to 24 hours before retrieving the latest rates from Workday.
