APPLICATION OF AN EXCHANGE RATE (DECEMBER 2022)
If the Currency Exchange module activation option is enabled in the OPERATIONAL BEHAVIOR of the ADMINISTRATIVE PARAMETERS, the exchange rate tools will be displayed.
If you update the exchange rate register (see below) you will be able to select the currency of your choice to have the daily rate.
3 tools are available to apply an exchange rate.
TOOL 1: This tool performs a conversion on the items of the invoice by modifying the amounts at the selected rate.
The direct exchange rate application tool is used on an EXISTING INVOICE (therefore NOT ON A NEW UNSAVED INVOICE) made in Canadian dollars that is reloaded to apply the desired rate and print and send it to the customer.
This tool modifies the prices and adds a comment indicating the selected currency. The SAVE button is removed (to avoid errors) and the PRINT button is available.
TOOL 2: This tool undoes the conversion of tool 1 and resets the items to the default price for this customer.
TOOL 3: This tool performs a reverse conversion on the invoice items by changing the amount to the selected rate.
The exchange rate reversal tool is used on an EXISTING INVOICE (so NOT ON A NEW UNSAVED INVOICE) made in foreign currency that is recharged to put it back in Canadian currency and save it.
Normally this tool is used to rebalance an invoice made in foreign currency that has been sent to the customer. It puts the prices back in Canadian currency (so reverses the chosen exchange rate).
To update the Exchange Rate Register: Go to ADMINISTRATIVE SETTINGS you will find the EXCHANGE RATE section. |
|
In this function you can automatically update the table via the global exchange rate center via the internet.
The system will add the missing lines to the table.
You can manually update the rates and values ??or delete the lines from the table if desired.
You can choose an expense account to activate the function (ENTER EXCHANGE RATE AMOUNT) by searching or manually. A debit account is required.
A copy option allows you to copy the account from line 1 to the other lines of the table.
