Understanding Constants for Multicurrency

On the Service Billing Constants form (W48091A), ensure that these options are set correctly:

Option	Usage
Exchange Rate Date Basis	This date controls which exchange rate the system applies to the workfile records when you run the Workfile Generation (R48120) and Workfile Re-extension (R481202) programs.
Foreign	This option controls which currency will be fixed during the billing process. When you select this option, the customer currency is the fixed currency, and the business unit or company currency is considered unfixed. In this case, the system calculates the markups in the customer currency and restates the domestic amount based on the foreign amounts that it calculated. When you clear this option, the domestic or company currency is fixed for the billing process. In this case, the system calculates the markups on the company currency and restates the foreign amount based on the domestic amounts that it calculated. This field also controls the mode that is supplied to the Workfile Revisions program (P4812).
