Let us understand this with the help of an example. The following table lists the exchange rates which are defined in the system where the From Currency is USD, To Currency is INR, and Division is D1:

  Exchange Rate	Effective Start Date and Time	Effective End Date and Time
  RT1	01-01-2014 12:00:00 PM	-
