If you use multicurrency accounting, you must specify a currency code for each miscellaneous charge.

Note: If you want to apply the same charges to customers using different currencies, you must create a separate miscellaneous charge record for each currency. However, you can use the same miscellaneous charge code for each of the currencies.

For each miscellaneous charge, you must also specify the tax authorities that levy taxes on the charge, and the applicable tax classes.
