Currency Exchange Rate History

The Currency Exchange Rate History page provides a historical list of currency exchange rate updates for your account.

To view the Currency Exchange Rate History page, go to Lists > Accounting > Currency Exchange Rates, and then click History.

The list header shows the total currency exchange rate records in your account. If you have more records than can be displayed on a single page, the header includes navigational arrows and a dropdown list of date ranges. The rows in the list display the following information:
