historical rates calculation when there is a dollar amount override
I found the following related to rates overrides and unexpected amounts in RE Doc ID 269654.1
Retained earnings translated balance is calculated as below:
Translated Revenue balance in the last period of previous year - Translated Expenses balance in the last period of previous year + Opening translated balance in retained earnings account in the last period of previous year
The closing of the income statement accounts is not considered periodic activity for retained earnings. At the turn of the year, the beginning retained earnings balance is automatically incremented for the p/l amount that was closed. The closed amount does not show up as periodic activity in the first period of the new fiscal year. Periodic activity to the retained earnings account would come from manual adjustments the user may make directly to the account.
