For historical override amounts during data entry, which member of the Currency dimension should be utilized?

The appropriate member of the Currency dimension to use for historical override amounts during data entry is the Reporting Currencies. This is because historical overrides typically reflect adjustments or specific amounts that are relevant to the reporting aspect of financial statements, which are presented in reporting currencies.

When entities prepare their financial statements, it's essential to translate or convert amounts into the respective reporting currencies used in the consolidated financials. By utilizing Reporting Currencies for historical overrides, you ensure that any adjustments made are properly aligned with the presentation requirements, providing clarity and accuracy in the reported results. This member supports the need to manage and input historical overrides while maintaining compliance with the reporting standards.

The use of other currency options would not be suitable in this context. For instance, Parent Currency is focused on the higher-level aggregation and is often used for the overall consolidation process but does not adequately address specific overrides. Input Currencies relate to the original entries in the local currencies and may not reflect the necessary adjustments for reporting. Similarly, Entity Currency would pertain to the specific entity's local currency and may not align with the consolidated reporting needs or historical adjustments required in the reporting view.
