This screen is used to request translations. Translations may be requested at the global, group, company, or company location level. The desired entity must be selected with an 'X'; the target currency, the reporting date, an action code, and the type of processing desired must all be provided. All translation jobs are submitted in batch mode, as online processing would increase user response time and reduce system performance.
Validation is performed on each of the required inputs to the program. Detailed validation is included with each of the variable descriptions below.
Default values are provided for target currency, action code, and processing type on the translation of the reference file.
The Translation Request can be printed using a 132- or 198-character-wide format depending on the entries on Reference File category 025.
REPORT DATE
Required. This field contains the date that will appear on the translation reports. This field is descriptive only, and will not affect the records selected for processing. If this field is not provided, an error message will be issued.
OPTION
Optional. This field is used to select translation requests. If an 'X' is provided, the translation request will be processed. If the field is blank, it will be skipped. All other characters will result in an error message being issued.
TARGET CURRENCY
Optional. This field contains the target currency for the translation request. This field is required for each translation request selected from the list. Currency validation is performed for each request, and differs based on the level (global/group/company/location) of the request. For company location, the target currency must exist on the currency master file for the company location in order to be valid. For company, the currency must be valid for each location within the company. For group, the currency must be valid for each company within the group. For global, the currency must be valid for each group. For global and group validation, the group definition category on the reference file is used to get company locations. Any invalid currency will result in an error message being issued.
GROUP

COMPANY
Display only. This field specifies the company for which the translation will be processed. The company is defined as a group of company locations and is one reporting entity to the system.
LOCATION
