Field help (GASCUR)

The currency in which the posting will be recorded (called the transaction currency) is, by default, the main general ledger currency for the company to which the site belongs. If the currency is different from the original currency the conversion will be based on the exchange rates recorded in the database for the chosen rate type and the rate date.

 All amounts and rates, either entered or imported, are converted and stored in the transaction and ledger currency. Hence, the journal can only be created if both conversion exchange rates relevant to this operation are entered (for all ledgers types included in the posting).
For conversions between IN currencies, the conversion exchange rates are automatically defined in the currency table. For other conversions, arate must have been defined for the date of the journal or for an earlier date.
