CU10


CU10.1 - Exchange Rates


Use Exchange Rates (CU10.1) to define and maintain effective dates and
exchange rates for a single currency relationship in a currency table.
Exchange
rates are used to convert an amount from one currency to another. You can
maintain rates as often as once a day.


**More Information


You must define exchange rates for a currency relationship with a blank
system code first. This becomes the default exchange rate between the currency
codes. If AUTO is displayed next to the table name, an opposite currency
relationship
is autogenerated when a 'from-to' currency relationship is created.
If you want to define different rates for each system code, define additional
rates and select a specific system code.

To define exchange rates for multiple currency relationships with a
single effective date, choose the Daily Rate button to open CU10.2 (Daily
Rate Entry).

You must select Yes in the Currency Exchange field in the Currency form
tab on GL10.1 (Company) to exchange rates for a company.



NOTE  You cannot define an effective date or an exchange rate for currencies
that display as triangulated currencies, such as Euro-bound currencies. For
such currencies, you must instead define exchange rates between each currency
and the triangulation currency (in this case, the Euro). To define a currency
relationship as triangulated, use CU02.1 (Currency Relationship).
