Currency Exchanges Record View

Currency Exchanges Record View

The purpose of the Currency Exchanges Record View is to create the Currency Exchange Tables that are to be used within the system for specific / all companies. From here, users can add, edit, or delete exchange tables but the most common function is to update exchange rates. Exchange Tables are only needed for companies that deal with foreign currencies and they are used on transactions and transaction journal entries that have a foreign currency.
