Currency Property Changes made here will be reflected in the Planning templates where the dimension member is used. The template must be opened and closed (or processed via Simulation Engine) and the cube must be processed. Doing so recalculates the data according to the updated properties.

Source Properties are available when you are using a second set of books. See Multiple Set of Books. The Member Group field is used to group companies for processing purposes and the Source Company field is where you select the company where the data will be copied from in your IFRS hierarchy.
