Enter the exchange rates in this tab. If you use the reporting currency scheme of a donor, the exchange rates are already specified and cannot be edited.
This page describes both the exchange rate table and how to Enter rates.
Exchange rate table
This table shows the exchange rates sorted by conversion basis (company currency or voucher currency) and by period. Double-click on an exchange rate in the table to open and edit it. Click on Create new rate (
) to add an exchange rate. Delete a rate with the Delete (
) button at the end of the line. Use the table settings to change the way the table is shown.

Enter rates
When you click on Create new rate (), a page opens where you can enter the required data. Select one of the previously created base currencies for which you would like to enter a rate. Enter an exchange rate. The corresponding opposite rate is calculated automatically. Depending on the conversion mode, you still have to select a period or specify the starting and end date for a flexible reporting period. This is omitted in the case of fixed exchange rates. Save your entries.
