Currencies and saved exchange rates

Before you start

Select the correct company and verify permissions. Learn in a test workspace; posting or restoring can change actual data.

Workflow

1. 1Select the correct company and open Settings → Currencies. Check the displayed base currency before adding or editing a currency; changes require the appropriate management permission.
2. 2Choose Add currency and find its ISO code, such as EUR. Review the display symbol and decimal places from 0 to 6, then save; an existing currency's code cannot be changed in the edit form.
3. 3Use the currency status to enable or disable it when needed. The base currency and currencies used by active cash or bank accounts cannot be disabled; disabling other currencies preserves historical records.
4. 4Open Edit to review the latest saved rate, its date and source. The quote means 1 unit of the base currency equals the displayed amount of the selected currency. Refresh rate imports current quotes; inspect the result before using it.
5. 5For a dated manual quote, open Accounting → Finance settings, Exchange rates: /workspace/accounting?module=finance-settings&focus=exchange-rates. Choose the date and enter each currency with a positive quote, such as EUR=0.92, without duplicate currencies, then save.
6. 6Review the date, base currency, source and values in the rates list. Before period-end revaluation, verify the closing-date rate, then follow the revaluation guide and review its preview before posting.

Verify the result

Reopen the record and check saved values and state. For financial operations, compare the document with the relevant movement and report before continuing.
