Changing Currency Settings
By default, Oracle Transportation Management uses US Dollars when saving costs to the database.
Also by default, Oracle Transportation Management triangulates all currency conversions through US
Dollars.
This example illustrates how Oracle Transportation Management stores a shipment cost record with
the currency storage default set to two different currencies:
Total actual cost of shipment is 1000 JPY. If Oracle Transportation Management’s currency storage
default is USD (current default in all Oracle Transportation Management installations), Oracle
Transportation Management stores this cost as follows:
Total-actual-cost_currency_GID
If instead Oracle Transportation Management’s currency storage default is GBP:
Total-actual-cost_currency_GID
In the first instance, the rate of 7.76 represents the USD value of 1000 JPY converted at the current
rate in Oracle Transportation Management (128.77) while in the second instance, the rate of 5.31
represents the GBP value of 1000 JPY converted at the current JPY/GBP rate in the system (188.08).
When to Change Currency Storage Default
There are two scenarios where you would like to change your currency storage default: either you only
use one currency other than USD or you use multiple currencies but not USD.
Rates in One Single Currency
In this case, you only need to set your currency storage default to the currency you use. For example,
Oracle Transportation Management stores a 100 GBP shipment cost as 100 in both the total cost and
the total cost base fields so no currency conversion is needed.
1. Run the following insert statement (example using GBP as new storage default) as the DBA
user:
INSERT INTO UOM (TYPE, UOM_CODE, UOM_SHORT_DESCRIPTION,
UOM_LONG_DESCRIPTION, UOM_RANK, IS_STORAGE_DEFAULT,
IS_DISPLAY_DEFAULT, DOMAIN_NAME) VALUES (‘CURRENCY’, ‘GBP’, ‘UK
POUND’, ‘UK POUND’, 1, ‘Y’, ‘Y’, ‘DBA’)
Rates in Several Currencies
In this case, you need to:
1. Decide what the currency storage default is for your Oracle Transportation Management
installation.
