the customer balance is returned in the foreign currency how can i use a formula to make it in the base currency in suitescript

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In SuiteScript, you can use a formula to convert the customer balance from the foreign currency to the base currency. This can be achieved by multiplying the foreign currency amount by the exchange rate. Here is a sample formula that was mentioned in one of the threads:

{foreigntotal}*{exchangerate}

. This formula multiplies the total amount in the foreign currency by the exchange rate to get the amount in the base currency. However, it's important to note that this formula might not always match the General Ledger (GL) amount due to rounding differences. The actual GL impact is rounded on each line after foreign exchange (FX) conversion, but the formula is just looking at the total. An alternative approach is to join to

Transaction Line -> Transaction Accounting Line

and pull up the amount from there (add a filter for

Transaction Line: Main Line is true

). This method might give you a more accurate result as it considers the rounding on each line. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
