| # To use external euro translation You can use the external euro translation functions to translate open invoice amounts in EMU-marked currencies to euros in order to: Generate payment advices in euros and write them to a bank file Generate direct debit advices in euros Generate interest invoices in euros Generate cash forecast in euros Display or print the amounts in euros To generate payment advices in euros Normally when you generate a payment advice or a direct debit advice for open invoices, the payment advice currency or the direct debit advice currency is the invoice currency. If the payment method does not allow the use of foreign currencies, the payment method currency of the invoice payment method must be the same as the advice currency. External euro translation allows you to replace the invoice payment method with a euro-related payment method, in order to handle open invoices in EMU currencies in euros. To use a euro-related payment method: Define the euro-related payment methods that you need. You can define a euro-related payment method for each existing payment method that handles EMU currencies. For example, you can copy such a method and set the Payment Method Currency to euro. You can also use a different type of report or bank file if this is required for reports in euros. In the Payment/Receipt Methods (tfcmg0540m000) session, select the euro-related payment method for each payment method that uses an EMU currency. Use the Data by Bank/Payment Methods (tfcmg0545m000) session to link the new euro-related payment methods to the banks instead of the EMU currency payment methods.

This is the case if the payment method currency is an EMU currency and you selected Use Euro for EMU Invoices. Note If you have not linked a euro-related payment method for the invoice payment method, ERP Enterprise cannot find a payment method with a matching currency for the generated advice in euros. You can print an audit report of the advices that cannot be processed, and then select the euro-related payment method for each created or generated advice in these sessions: Payment Advice (tfcmg1120s000) Direct Debit Advice (tfcmg4120s000) To generate interest invoices in euros In the Select Inv.-to BP Receipts for Interest Invoices (tfacr5210m000) session, select Use Euro for EMU Invoices to generate interest invoices in euros based on open invoices in EMU currencies.
