CU62.1 - Currency Relations Interface Maintenance

**Form purpose
Use Currency Rate Interface Maintenance (CU60.1) to display and maintain
currency currency table exchange rate information imported from a non-Lawson
environment (a spreadsheet for example) into the CUCONVREL file, before you
interface it to the Lawson Currency system. This form is used to verify that
your information transferred to the Lawson system correctly.

**Prerequisites
Before you interface exchange rate data, you must define a currency table
using Currency Table (CU00.1) and relationships between each currency code,
using  Currency Relationships (CU02.1 ).

**Process at a glance
1.  Convert your non-Lawson file to a comma-value-separated (CSV).  The
fields in your CSV file must match the position, size and type of the fields
in the  CUCONVREL Lawson interface file.

2.  Use a transfer utility program (such as the winptxfr or ftp command) to
transfer your non-Lawson file to your Lawson environment.  You may need to
rename your PC file to match the naming conventions of your Lawson
environment.  For example, to transfer file currency rate.csv in your PC Data
directory to your UNIX machine, use this command:

    winptxfr -u curr-rate c:\\Data\\Currency rate.csv
    where curr-rate is the name you give the file on your Lawson machine.

3.  Import the file you just transferred into the Lawson Currency Rate
Interface file (CUCONVREL), by using an Import command, such as:

    importdb  productline CUCONVREL curr-rate
    where productline id the Lawson product line where you want to load the
file.

4.  View and maintain the information in the CUCONVREL file, using Currency
Rate Interface Maintenance (CU60.1).

5.  (Optional) Run Currency Rate Interface Listing (CU260) to list currency
records.

6.  Run Currency Rate Interface (CU160) to load the currency information into
the Currency application.

7.  Correct any records that did not interface using CU60.1, and run CU160
again.  Repeat these steps until all records are interfaced.

**More help
Once records are interfaced successfully using CU160, they are deleted from
the CUCONVREL file an can no longer be viewed on CU60.1.  They have become
regular Currency records and you can view and maintain them on Exchange Rates
(CU10.1).
