Possibility to use threshold for Real Diff. (=transaction currency amount) in IC reports

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When running the Group/Reconcile/Intercompany Balances Report we are only interested in the Real difference, i.e. the difference in the reported amount between a debtor and a creditor in the transaction currency.

The IC report includes however both Real difference and Currency Translation difference. It would be nice if it was possible to enter a threshold which is only applicable to the Real difference. As it is today the threshold is only applied to the total of real difference and currency translation difference. This makes it difficult to quickly spot huge (real) differences since the currency translation difference could affect the total difference in the reversed way resulting in smaller total difference than the real difference.


One real example:

Below is the result of a transaction between a debtor and creditor.

Real Difference of -1069 SEK,

Currency Translation difference of 763 SEK,

Total Difference of 306 SEK.

A threshold of 500 SEK was used when running the IC-report but the above difference was not detected due to the fact that the total difference was 306 SEK even though the real difference was -1069 SEK.

The Currency Translation difference is based on the local amount reported by the debtor and creditor. This local amount is then converted to the currency that is selected when running the IC-report. When checking IC-differences it is not important for the creditor what local amount the debtor has reported and vice versa.

    It's a legitimate request, we plan to implement that when we will port the intercompany reconciliation ( at group level) in Controller web; Note that already today in Web at company level you can request to see only the difference based on the transaction amount.
