Fields

Field Description
Translation date Specify the date as of which you want to revalue foreign currency transactions and foreign-denominated account balances. The process uses the currency exchange rates that are in effect on this date to calculate gains and losses. This date displays at the top of the Gains/Losses and Revaluations Posting Log. If Vantagepoint is configured to require that transaction dates fall within the current fiscal year or current fiscal period, the date that you specify here must meet that requirement.
Diary This field displays only if you have set up a diary for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions in the Diary Auto Numbering Options section of the Transaction Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Transactions.

Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as in a vendor payment run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions.

The Diary list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type. All diaries that you set up on the Diary Auto Numbering Options section in Transactions Settings that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions, or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them, are available for selection. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions.

If you use multiple companies, you can select only those diary codes that are set up for the current company.

You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction or enter a reversing transaction.
