The form allows you to declare all the currencies needed to manage the context of international suppliers and also to manage the multi-currency context of CARL Source users.

In the context of international suppliers, these currencies allow purchase request and purchase order amounts to be converted into the context currency and also allow item prices and purchase request and purchase order amounts to be expressed in the supplier's currency.

A supplier is associated with a single currency.

Purchase request and purchase order amounts are also converted into the context currency, using the exchange rates, see Exchange rates.

Accessing the list of currencies

1. Place the cursor in the [Purchasing] module and select [Currencies] from the [Configuration] section.
   → The list of currencies is displayed.
   
   
2. You can then add currencies, modify existing currencies, or delete currencies not being used.

Description of the fields

• Code: Identifier of the currency, unique in the application. The currency code must correspond to a currency code defined in the ISO 4217 standard.
• Name: Name of the currency.
• Symbol: Official symbol associated with the currency code. This is initialized by the application and cannot be modified.
• Active: Uncheck this box if the currency should no longer be associated with a supplier.
• Multi-currency: Check this box if the currency is considered as multi-currency. This currency can be selected as the context currency and then used for currency initialization on entities.

Selecting the Multi-currency checkbox is subject to the CARL Source/Global/Manage multi-currency environment profile right.

Once a new currency (standard or multi-currency) is saved, a popup containing the message "Exchange rates are, as default, initialized to 1. Do you want to change these rates? is displayed. This popup allows you to declare exchange rate values.

2 options are possible:

• Clicking YES opens the pre-filtered exchange rates feature for the currency pairs impacted by the adding of currencies for which exchange rates have to be entered,
• Clicking NO will initialize the exchange rates to 1 for the currency pairs impacted by the adding of currencies without opening the exchange rates feature.

At any time, it is also possible to update the exchange rates, by selecting the [Exchange rates] feature in the "Configuration" block.
