Currency

1. Exchange Rate Date

Specify the date for the system to use to retrieve the exchange rate. Values are:

Blank: Use the invoice date.

1: Use the general ledger date.

2. Effective Date Edit

Specify whether the system issues a warning if the currency exchange rate on the invoice is in a fiscal period different from the effective date of the exchange rate in the F0015 table. For example, if you enter an invoice with a general ledger date of December 15 and the last effective date for an exchange rate is November 1, and the fiscal date pattern is set up for the months of the calendar year, you can specify that the system generate a warning. The message warns you that the exchange rate in the F0015 table has expired. Values are:

Blank: Do not issue a warning message.

1: Issue a warning message.

3. Exchange Rate Tolerance Limit

Specify the tolerance limit allowed for changes in exchange rates during invoice entry. If the calculated amount is greater or less than the tolerance amount that you specify, the system issues a warning message during invoice entry.

For example, 5 specifies a tolerance limit of five percent. If you try to enter an exchange rate that is six percent greater or less than the previous rate entered, you receive a warning message. In this way, the system helps to ensure that the exchange rate that you enter is reasonable, thus alerting you to possible data entry errors.
