Description

Rules

Reimbursement Currency Conversion Date Type

This defines the date that should be used to determine which exchange rate effective dates should be used for reimbursements that are incurred in a different currency to the base currency of the payee's country.

There is a pick list of:

  • Timesheet Item Date

  • Timesheet Start Date

  • No conversion Date (default)

If Timesheet Item Date is selected, the timesheet will use the reimbursement's item date to determine the exchange rate to use for the foreign reimbursement currency conversion.

If Timesheet Start Date is selected, the timesheet will use the timesheet start date to determine the exchange rate to use for the foreign reimbursement currency conversion.

If No Conversion Date is selected, the timesheet will not convert any reimbursement value entered. The payee would need to convert any foreign currency expenses themselves to enter the converted into the system.

Net Pay Currency Conversion Date Type

This defines the date that should be used to convert net pay to the payee's currency value

There is a pick list of:

  • Pay Batch Process Date

  • Pay Period Start Date (default)

If Pay Batch Process Date is selected, the pay batch process will use the exchange rate based on the date the pay batch is processed to convert the payee's net pay.

If Pay Period Start Date is selected, the pay batch process will use the exchange rate based on the pay period start date you are processing to convert the payee's net pay.
If processing an adjustment batch for a previous period, the system will use the pay period start date of the period you are processing and not when the adjustment was for.
