When converting from one currency into another, please note that if one of the currencies is an EMU currency the conversion is to take place via the Euro, i.e. the first currency will be converted into the EURO first and then from the EURO into the target currency.

The precondition for working with the EURO is that it has been created as a payment type of the category “Foreign Currency”. Further help can be found in the chapter Update Euro. This is independent from the creation of the EURO as a non-cash currency.
