Does anyone know why the consolidated exchange rate differs between a standard balance sheet report and a customised one that is showing the whole year. Both reports run as of the same month? Thanks

For better or worse, the Consolidated Exchange Rate used Balance Sheet (and maybe on an Income Statement, I can't remember) will be the latest month you're running the report for and it will apply that rate to all months. It's not "smart" enough to apply the individual rates for each month. Maybe that's not even GAAP and that's why they don't, I don't remember. Anyway, at least that's how I think it works. Easy enough to use some math on your report for a couple numbers to check me.

That’s what I thought it does but the number from the standard bs and the one customise for the same month is different. The customised one is using a different consolidated rate then the one as of for the month

You're using the exact same subsidiary context?

Yes

Not sure then. Might have to file a case.
