1. Ensure that you have a version of the system which does not create the zero SUMREC postings for exchange rate changes. In general, if you have had a system upgrade since January 1, 2005, your system will have this new functionality. If your last upgrade was before January 1, 2005, you likely do not have the new functionality.

2. Ensure all users are out of the system and will remain out of the system until the Load Summarized GL process is complete.

3. Perform a backup of your Minotaur system.

4. Run a trial balance (usually keystrokes LRFR).

5. Run a Check Summarized GL Report (usually keystrokes AMCK) since the inception of your Minotaur system. This report itself can be time consuming.

6. Set your audit dates back to the inception of your Minotaur system.

7. Run the Load Summarized GL option for foreign currency accounts since the inception of your Minotaur system. The screen should allow you to first select a start date and an end date. It should then present you with the standard Minotaur account selector screen on which you can specify the currency of the accounts you wish to re-load. If you manage multiple foreign currencies, you will have to run this option once for each foreign currency.

If the system does not present you with the standard Minotaur account selector, the Load Summarized GL option will likely not eliminate the zero SUMREC postings. Terminate this process until you get a version of Minotaur that does present the account selector.


8. Reset your audit dates to prevent inappropriate postings.
9. Run a trial balance and compare to the earlier trial balance. In general, there should be no changes. If there are changes, it will be necessary to decide whether or not those changes are appropriate and how to manage them.
