Primary versus Reporting Responsibilities

When you log into General Ledger using your reporting responsibility, you can perform all of the same activities you can perform when you are logged in using your primary responsibility. The only exception is when you log in using the predefined General Ledger EURO User responsibility, which only provides Euro reporting capabilities.

You should be cautious about performing any activity other than reporting when you are logged in using a reporting responsibility. This is especially true of entering or importing new journals into your reporting set of books, since MRC only converts and replicates journals from your primary set of books to your reporting sets of books -- not the other way around.

Caution: Entering new journals or changing existing journals in a reporting set of books can make it very difficult to reconcile the reporting set of books to the associated primary set of books.

Generally, you would consider entering new journals or changing an existing journal in a reporting set of books when you need to change the converted amounts for some reason. Another reason might be that you need to adjust the balances in a reporting set of books because the jurisdiction in which you report those reporting currency amounts follows different accounting rules than those you use in your primary set of books.
