What are FX Rate Types able to be set up for? Select 2.

• A. Assets/Liabilities and Revenue/Expenses (Income Statement)
• B. Entity and Account
• C. Scenario and Cube (Balance Sheet)
• D. Period and Year

Answer: (A)

FX Rate Types define how currency conversion is applied to different parts of the financial statements. They’re used to specify separate translation methods for different groups of accounts, so the reported amounts in the target currency reflect appropriate treatment. In practice, you set up one FX Rate Type for assets and liabilities and another for revenue and expenses. This mirrors how currency translation is typically handled in financial reporting: balance sheet items are often translated using a closing rate, while income statement items use an average rate (or another method you choose). Having separate rate types for these two broad classes ensures each group uses the correct rates and maintains consistency across periods. FX Rate Types aren’t configured by a specific entity and account pair, nor by scenario and cube, nor by period and year. Those dimensions serve other purposes in the model, while FX Rate Types specifically manage how translation rates are applied across the main statement categories.
