Use the controls in this field to select an existing currency table, or to create a new currency table. For more information, see About Currency Tables.

Enter a description of the purpose of the currency table (for example, "Converting at average rate"). You can enter up to 60 characters in this field.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Specify the method for selecting a currency exchange rate for a transaction or revaluation:
- Earlier. If no rate has been entered for the date of the transaction, the system uses the rate for the most recent date before the transaction date.
- Exact. The system uses the rate for the same date as the transaction date. (If no rate has been entered for the date of the transaction, you must enter one.)
- Later. If no rate has been entered for the date of the transaction, the system uses the rate for the first date after the transaction date.
Note: After saving a currency table, you cannot change the date matching method for that currency table.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Specify the method to determine how the source-currency amount of a transaction is converted to its functional-currency equivalent:
- Multiply. The transaction amount (source currency) is multiplied by the currency's exchange rate.
- Divide. The transaction amount (source currency) is divided by the currency's exchange rate.
Note: After saving a currency table, you cannot change the rate operation for that currency table.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Specify the code that identifies a rate type for converting a source-currency amount to its functional-currency equivalent.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Enter the reference source where currency rates were obtained (for example, a newspaper). You can enter up to 60 characters in this field.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Specify the currency to which transaction amounts will be converted. You can specify the functional currency or another currency.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Specify the transaction currency to be converted.
Note: Once you save a rate, you cannot change the currency. To change an incorrect currency that you have saved, you must delete the rate, and then re-enter it with the correct currency.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Enter an exchange rate for converting transaction amounts in the source currency to functional-currency equivalents. You can enter only one rate per date.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Enter the date of an exchange rate.
- By default, the session date is displayed.
- You cannot enter the same date twice.
- Once you save a rate, you cannot change the date. To change an incorrect date that you have saved, you must delete the rate, and then re-enter it with the correct date.
![Closed](../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Enter the maximum amount that the rate entered for a transaction can differ from the rate entered in the currency table. The spread is used to check that a reasonable rate has been entered.
Overview
