Currency Configuration for Multiple Currencies

If your firm uses multiple currencies, use Currency Configuration to maintain data for all of the currencies that your firm uses.

First, you need to enable the multiple currency feature to display currencies on the form.

If your firm uses multiple companies, you must configure all currencies used by all companies. For example, your firm may have companies in Canada, France, England, and the US. At a minimum, you should enable Canadian dollars, euros, British pounds, and US dollars. After you enable all appropriate currencies for use throughout your enterprise, you use Settings > General > Company to select currencies on a company-by-company basis.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) maintains a list of standard codes and descriptions for international currencies. If you add a new currency, beyond those that come with DPS, it is strongly recommended that you use ISO standard codes and descriptions. See http://www.iso.org for more information.
