Defining an Office Home Currency

When creating a new Office (reporting entity/legal entity) you must specify its Currency (Office Home Currency). This will be the default currency used for all transactions for this Office, unless overridden by a Client Currency or at the point of creating a transaction.

The Office Home Currency is the accounting Currency for this office – all system Journals created for the Office will be created in this Currency, and by default all major system reports for the Office will be calculated and displayed in that Currency.

  1. To change an Office Home Currency go to Setup Files menu and select Offices
  2. On the Search Offices screen, select the office code hyperlink for the office you want to edit.
  3. Select the Currency from the drop down list of currencies established in the system.

 

Tip - You can choose to view the foreign exchange rates based on a different currency from the default home currency. Use the Home Office Currency drop down from the Search Currencies page, to see the FX rates based on your selection.
