Currency Override Dialog Box

If you use the Multicurrency feature, you can use the Currency Override dialog box to select a different transaction currency for the current transaction or to override the exchange rate used for the current transaction.

This dialog box is available for certain transactions that you enter in the Transaction Center or for expense report items that you enter in Time & Expense > Expense Report.

To display the dialog box, complete the following steps:

1. From the Vision Navigation menu, select Transaction Center > Transaction Entry.
2. On the Transaction Entry form, click the Transactions tab.
3. From the drop-down list in the Transaction Type field, select a transaction type.
4. Create a new transaction file or open an existing transaction file.
5. On the toolbar of the transaction entry form, click Currency.

Fields

Field	Description
Transaction Currency	From the drop-down list, select the currency for the transaction.
Payment Currency	If the payment currency is different from the transaction currency, select the payment currency from the drop-down list in this field.

Exchange Override Sections

One or two Exchange Override sections display on this dialog box, depending on whether or not the current transaction type or expense report has both a transaction currency and a payment currency.

• If the current transaction is of a type that has a separate transaction and payment currency, a separate Exchange Override section for each displays below each Transaction Currency and Payment Currency field.

• If the current transaction does not have a separate payment currency, only the Transaction Currency field and an Exchange Override section for it display on the dialog box.

Field	Description
Method	Select the method for the exchange override: None, Date or Rate. If the selected currency is the same as the functional currency, you must instead override the date or rate at the detail level (on the appropriate line in the transaction or expense report grid). Vision displays a dialog box message that indicates the conflict.
Date	If you select Date in the Method field, enter the date that you want to use in place of the date on which the transaction took place. You can enter a date in this field or click and select the date from the calendar.
Rate	If you select Rate in the Method field, enter the rate (using up to 10 decimals) that you want to use in place of the currency exchange rate set up in Configuration.
