Foreign exchange |
Top Previous Next |
You can work with as many foreign currencies as you like.
You are expected to use the first currency as your base currency. Normally you will set the exchange rate for your base currency to the default of 1.0 for all months of the year. All other currency rates should be expressed against your base currency.
This dialog shows you all these currencies and lets you scroll up and down the list in order to pick the currency to update or display.
The currency that is marked as "Currency in Use" is the one in which your accounting information will be displayed. The only exception to this is if you have defined a Bank, Charge, Customer or Supplier account as being kept in another currency, which will then be displayed in that currency.
On the right hand side of the dialog are the data entry fields to change the number of decimals for the highlighted currency and any or all of the monthly exchange rates for that currency. The rates are expressed in changing from the base currency (the first currency in the list) to the foreign currency (any other currency in the list). The exchange rates you set can have up to 5 decimal places. A zero value is not accepted. The base rate should be set as 1.0 for the whole year.
All functions can be used with both years.
