Currencies

 

Currency register contains information about currencies, which are used by user. It results from the fact that most of companies run international business what requires transactions to be made in foreign currencies. Such dictionary stores data of currencies and their exchange rates counted up into the system currency.

 

System Currency – currency in which value operations are registered. All value operations will be counted up into the system currency (similarly like it’s done with warehouse stocks – they are saved only in basic unit of measure). Additionally currencies must have list of exchange rates assigned. System currency  can be changed until the first document connected with currency is issued, e.g. trade document or currency account. Setting a currency as the system currency can be done by selecting a currency and clicking [Set System Currency] button from System Currency button group.
