Exchange Rates

CA Service Accounting supplies the Accounting, Configuration, Exchange Rates table. By default, this table displays exchange rates for the current time period. You can also view any previously defined exchange rates for earlier or future periods.

Using this table, you manage exchange rates for the currencies used in your implementation, relative to the US dollar. The Catalog system uses these exchange rates to produce invoices for each account in the currency of the business unit to which the account belongs.

All exchange rates are relative to the US dollar. When you convert from one currency type to another, the system first converts the catalog amount to US dollars. Next, the system converts the amount to the currency type of the account.

During installation, the exchange rates for all currency types are set to 1.0. This setting means that the exchange rate for each currency type relative to the US dollar is 1.0.

Updates to exchange rates apply to the entire system. You cannot specify different exchange rates for different business units.
