         <ListIntro>The base currency for the conversion depends on the currency
		  system after internal currency initialization, as follows:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Conversion to standard multicurrency system: Either the local
		  home currency or the transaction currency is the base currency for the
		  conversion. Based on the translation method settings by reporting home
		  currency, either the amounts in the local home currency are converted into
		  amounts in the new reporting home currencies, or the transaction amounts are
		  directly translated into amounts in the new reporting home currencies. These
		  translation method settings are specific for the standard multicurrency system.
		  Furthermore, if the local home currency is changed, the amounts in the local
		  home currency, rather than the amounts in the transaction currency, are
		  converted into amounts in the new local home currency.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>
            <Paragraph>Conversion to dependent multicurrency system: The local home
			 currency is the base currency for the conversion. The amounts in the local home
			 currency are converted into the reference currency. After that the amounts in
			 the reference currency are calculated in the other new home currencies.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph> Important!: If the CRI conversion includes a
			 change of the reference currency that does not match the local currency,
			 reconciliation of intercompany accounts for existing data will only be possible
			 in the transaction currency, because translation is based on the amounts in the
			 (previous) local home currency.</Paragraph>
         </ListItem>
         <ListItem>Conversion to independent multicurrency system: The transaction
		  currency is the base currency for the conversion. The amounts in the
		  transaction currencies are converted into the new currencies. However, if the
		  local home currency is changed, the amounts in the local home currency, rather
		  than the amounts in the transaction currency, are converted into the new local
		  home currency.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Conversion to single currency system: The local home currency,
		  which is also the reference currency, is the base currency for the conversion.
		  The amounts in the local home currency are converted into the new currencies.</ListItem>
