If you post in an additional reporting currency and use the Fixed Assets application area, you can use this field to record the exchange rate of the additional reporting currency for a fixed asset.
For each fixed asset, you can record the exchange rate of the additional reporting currency that is valid when the fixed asset is acquired. Then when you post depreciation using the Calculate Depreciation batch job, the batch job will insert the relevant exchange rate for the additional reporting currency for each fixed asset in the resulting FA G/L journal entries.
You register the exchange rate of the additional reporting currency for a fixed asset in the asset's FA Depreciation Books window. To do so, click the AssistButton in the FA Add.-Currency Code field in the FA Depreciation Books window for the relevant fixed asset. In the Change Exchange Rates window that appears, place a check mark in the Use FA Add.-Curr. Exch. Rate field, and then enter the exchange rate for the additional reporting currency that you want to use for the fixed asset.
You can also enter or change the exchange rate of the additional reporting currency for a fixed asset before posting a fixed asset transaction in a FA G/L journal. To do so, click the FA Add.-Currency Code field in the FA G/L journal, place a check mark in the Use FA Add.-Curr. Exch. Rate field, and then enter the exchange rate.
