To complete the accounting setup, update the reporting currency and complete the conversion options for all reporting currencies that are assigned.
If no reporting currencies are assigned to the ledgers when creating the accounting setup structure, the Reporting Currencies step is not required and the status is Not Started.

| Rounding Differences Tracking Account | In General Ledger, this account tracks rounding differences that occur during currency conversions. If you do not enter an account, General Ledger will post rounding differences to the journal line with the largest amount. If your foreign currency transactions include different balancing segment values to represent multiple companies, General Ledger will automatically create a rounding differences account for each balancing segment value. Warning: Any changes you make to the Rounding Differences Account in the source ledger will automatically be applied to all of its journal and subledger level reporting currencies. If you have a different rounding differences account assigned to your reporting currencies and you change the rounding differences account for the source ledger, such as removing one, changing one, or adding one, be sure to also update the rounding differences account for each of the reporting currencies. |
| Enable Journal Approval | Use General Ledger's Journal Approval feature for this reporting currency. When enabled, Journal Approval only applies to journals that are entered directly to the reporting currency, such as manually entered journals or journals loaded directly to the reporting currency. Journal Approval will not apply to journals that were automatically converted from the source ledger by General Ledger Posting. Note: When you enable Journal Approval, only journal entries that use actual amounts and the Manual journal source will automatically have Journal Approval enabled. To require journal approval for budget or encumbrance journals or for journals using a source other than Manual, you must mark the Require Journal Approval check box for the appropriate journal source in the Journal Sources window in Oracle General Ledger.

If you have a different rounding differences account assigned to your reporting currencies and you change the rounding differences account for the source ledger, such as removing one, changing one, or adding one, be sure to also update the rounding differences account for each of the reporting currencies. |
| Default Rate Type | The conversion rate type used to retrieve exchange rates for converting transactions from the source ledger to this reporting currency This differs from the conversion rate type specified when entering a transaction. Oracle Applications use the transaction conversion rate type to retrieve exchange rates for converting entered amounts from the transaction currency to the ledger currency. Alternatively, users can specify their own rate type. The Default Rate Type works with the Retain Transaction Rate Type field. If you choose not to retain the same rate type used to convert the original transaction, the Default Rate Type is used instead. Additional Information: Defining Conversion Rate Types |
| Retain Transaction Rate Type | Controls the conversion rate type that should be used to convert transaction currency amounts from the source ledger to this reporting currency.
Additional Information: Reporting Currency Account Type Specific Conversion, |
| Missing Conversion Rate | Controls what the system should do if it cannot find a conversion rate as of the conversion date
