2500014 - Local Currency Centric Template Uses Functional Currency in Guideline Amount - Compensation

In a Local Currency Centric template, all uploaded values are expected to be in local currency.

For example, this behavior applies to:

• Lookup table values, which are interpreted as local currency.
• EC-mapped values, which are interpreted as local currency.

However, Guideline values uploaded with mode=amount are interpreted as functional currency instead of local currency. As a result, the values are subsequently converted when viewed in different currency views, leading to unexpected amounts.

1. Go to Compensation Home and open a template
2. Under Plan Setup, go to Plan Details and open Guideline page
3. Create the Guideline and set the mode as Amount
4. Upload a value in your guidelines formula.
5. Launch a form
6. Access the form and switch to functional currency.
7. You should see the exact value you imported.

Guideline formulas are shared across all users, regardless of their local currency. For this reason, guideline values are always defined and processed in functional currency.

As a result, the CurrencyCentric setting of the template does not affect the behavior of guideline values when mode=amount is used.

Guideline values must be defined in functional currency. During guideline calculation, the system automatically converts these values to each user's local currency, ensuring the correct values are displayed and used for each user.
