In D365 Finance, the consolidation entity stores only a single currency layer based on the option selected during “Consolidate Online” (Accounting Currency or Reporting Currency).

This prevents Financial Reporter from showing both:

  • Subsidiary accounting currency (e.g., SGD)
  • Consolidation reporting currency (e.g., QAR)

in the same consolidated company.


Business Impact:

  • Global companies using multiple subsidiaries with different COA and different functional currencies cannot generate MIS reports with both local currency and group currency in one entity.
  • This becomes a significant limitation for multinational organizations operating in 20–50 countries.
  • SAP S/4HANA and Oracle ERP Cloud support multi-currency ledgers by default, which allows reporting in subsidiary currency + group currency in a single consolidated ledger.

Requested Behavior:

  • Allow the consolidation entity to store multiple currency layers, including:
  • Subsidiary accounting currency
  • Consolidated reporting currency
  • Original transaction currency
  • Expose all these layers in Financial Reporting (FR) column definitions.

Value:

  • Enables complete global consolidations
  • Reduces duplication of consolidation companies
  • Aligns D365 with SAP/Oracle capabilities
  • Enhances financial accuracy, transparency, and compliance
  • Greatly simplifies multi-COA, multi-currency reporting
