Configure Base Currency and Alternate Currency

Select the Enterprise or property, click Setup, and then click Currency Parameters.

Click the Configuration tab.

Select the Base Currency from the drop-down list. This is the primary currency for the location.

Oracle recommends setting the base currency once during initial configuration of a property, prior to opening guest checks. When you change the base currency after opening checks, the EMC prompts you for verification twice.

(Optional) Select the Alternate Currency from the drop-down list.

This is the other currency used at the location. For example, a restaurant located near Niagara Falls might set US Dollars as the base currency and accept Canadian Dollars as the alternate currency.

To use rounding, select 4 - Round Currency. Selecting this option activates the subsequent options. Select the appropriate options to round the amount due:

5 - ON = Round to Nearest 0; OFF = Round to Nearest 5: Select this option to round currency amounts to the nearest 0 (for example, 163.336 rounds to 163.340). Deselect this option to round currency amounts to the nearest 5 (for example, 163.336 rounds to 163.335).
6 - ON = Round to Second-Least Significant Digit; OFF = Round to Least Significant Digit: Select this option to round currency amounts based on the second least significant digit (for example, in 100.45, the second least significant digit is 4). Deselect this option to round currency amounts based on the least significant digit (for example, in 100.45, the least significant digit is 5).

Click Save.

Select the Enterprise or property, click Setup, and then click Currency Availability.

If you selected the Enterprise level, for each record, select the non-base currency (foreign or alternate currency) for conversion in the Currency field.

Select the appropriate alternate currency options:

2 - Issue Change In Other Currency: Select this option to issue change from a currency conversion in the currency. Deselect this option to issue change only in the base currency.
3 - Prompt For Issuing Change: Select this option to ask the workstation operator with a Yes/No prompt whether change is required in the alternate currency. Deselect this option to issue change only in the base currency without prompting.
Select options 4, 5, and 6 as appropriate for the alternate currency. These options are described in Step 4.

Click Save.
