Concept: Currency in Accounting Journals

Workday provides multicurrency capabilities for accounting journals. Accounting journals enable you to record accounting data not associated with operational transactions manually. When you create accounting journals, you can:

Use the company currency only.
Use foreign currencies for the journal lines.

You also have the same capabilities when you set up journal templates for use when creating accounting journals.

When you use the

Create Journal

task to enter foreign currency accounting journals, Workday converts the journal lines to the company currency to create the ledger currency amount. You can override the exchange rate and ledger currency amounts, as necessary. If there are rounding differences in the ledger currency, adjust the ledger amounts.

For intercompany journals where the companies have different currencies, you must have all journal lines in the same currency.
