Notes:
- 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. Further help can be found in an Overview
Table. A special example of parameter settings can be found in the
chapter Parameter Settings for the various
currencies.
- 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.
