The program description deals with the following:
Update basic data, i.e. programming, changing or clearing, is possible with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed for information.
This program allows the user to update exchange rates per programmed payment type (foreign currency) on a branch level.
More details on the subject of "Euro conversion" and which entries are to be made in which window(s) under which prerequisites can be found under Euro as a non-cash payment type and update of exchange rates. A short review of conversions is available in table Conversion to Euro. Two concrete parametering examples show which entries are necessary: Local currency is not a ECU currency and Local currency is a non-ECU currency.
A new exchange rate is programmed from entries in fields Buying rate and/or Buying fee and/or Sale. The position in the program from which the update of exchanges rates is chosen defines whether the programming is done on branch or company level.
When exchange rates for payment types are programmed, please ensure that the payment types have already been programmed in the system.
Change to the required data record by clicking on the field to be changed with <Mouse key 1>. If the data record required is not displayed, it can be selected with the help of the vertical bar. Then make the required changes and save.
Mark the data record for which the exchange rate is to be cleared. Then click on the appropriate button.
The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.

Exchange rates are only updated if the currency is that of a non-ECU country. If the currency of a non-ECU country is to be converted to that of an EMU country, the exchange rate to be entered should always be for Euro (s. Note). More information can be found under Programming a foreign currency of a non-ECU country with enforced change entry.
The Review conversion Euro can be called up. This shows which exchange rates are to be entered in which window under which conditions. There are also two graphics with parametering examples: Local currency not ECU currency and Local currency is a non-ECU currency.
