What is an Entity? • Entity is a financial division of a company • Entity defines a division maintained for Financial Reporting Requirements • Entity is defined for a separate Tax Reporting Division of a company
Entity Currency • Each Entity is assigned a three-digit code that defines the Entity’s Base Currency • In Multiple Currency Environments this code determines if a currency translation is performed • Translation Adjustment can appear as an item on either the Balance Sheet or Income Statement

(Transactions for these accounts must be exported in detail!) • 5 User-Defined Transactions are revalued at a set rate for the accounting period, as defined in Translation Exchange Rate Maintenance (25.19.1).
