Historical Rate |
Use this field to convert stockholders' equity balance (which is generally paid-in capital + retained earnings) stated in terms of functional currency to another company's balance sheet when consolidating financial statements. You can use this field when the stockholders' equity balance has a single transaction posted to a particular account. You cannot use this field when this account has multiple transactions posted to the particular account because each individual posted record requires an historical rate that you established on the day of the transaction. |
Weighted Average Historical Rate |
Use this field to convert stockholders' equity balance (which is generally paid-in capital + retained earnings) stated in terms of functional currency to another company's balance sheet when consolidating financial statements. You can use this field when the stockholders' equity balance has multiple transactions posted to a particular account. This enables you to apply a weighted-average historical rate based on the individual historical rates for each transaction in a stockholders' equity account. |

You can enter a note of up to 254 alphanumeric characters for the exchange rate. |
