Common Fields Used in This Implementation Guide

As If Currency Code	Enter the three-character code to specify the currency that you want to use to view transaction amounts. This code allows you to view the transaction amounts as if they were entered in the specified currency rather than the foreign or domestic currency that was used when the transaction was originally entered.
Base Currency	Enter the code that identifies the domestic currency of a transaction or company. The base currency and domestic currency both refer to the same currency.
Currency Code	Enter the three-character code that represents the currency of the transaction. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Multicurrency Processing system provides currency codes that are recognized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The system stores currency codes in the F0013 table.
Domestic Currency	Enter the code that identifies the base currency of a transaction or company.
Exchange Rate	Enter the rate to use to convert amounts from one currency to another. Exchange rates exist between two currencies.
Foreign Currency	Enter the code that identifies the transaction currency if a transaction currency is different from the company domestic currency.
Spot Rate	Enter a rate on a transaction to override the currency exchange rate in the F0015 table.
Triangulation Currency	Enter the currency code of the settling currency for triangulation calculations. A triangulation currency is used to calculate foreign amounts to domestic amounts through a third (or triangulation) currency.
