Fixed and Unfixed Amounts

When the Multi-Currency Conversion option on the General Accounting Constants form has a value of Y or Z and a transaction has two currencies, the system calculates and stores amounts in both currencies within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Contract and Service Billing system. The domestic amount fields always display amounts in the currency of the company to which the job belongs, and the foreign amount fields always display amounts in the customer currency, unless you override these settings in the Contract Master table (F5201) (Contract Billing only). One of these currencies must be defined as fixed, based on the currency mode that you specified in the billing constants. The fixed currency becomes the control currency for the workfile transactions and is maintained by the system. Although the fixed amounts remain static, fluctuations in currency can affect the unfixed amounts.
