Diffence between Multiple Reporting Currency in 11i and Reporting Currency in R12.
1. In 11i we can called as “Multiple Reporting Currencies” but in R12 we are calling like “Reporting Currencies”.2. In 11i we have to define reporting set of books and assign primary set of book to reporting set of books. But In R12 directly we can add reporting currencies to ledger. It is easy process.
3. In 11i we can report upto 8 reporting currencies but where as in r12 we can report en number of currencies.
4. In 11i we have one limitation to do MRC. If the chart of account and calendar should be same to do the MRC. But in R12 if the calendar or chart of account is differ we can do “Reporting currencies” by using Secondary Ledgers.
