Currency Override Dialog Box

If you use the Vision Multicurrency feature, you can use the Currency Override dialog box to select a different currency type or exchange rate for one or more items on your expense report. This is useful in situations where the assigned default currency or exchange rate does not apply to the expense item that you are entering.

Refer to the Currency and Exchange Rate Overrides online help topic for more information.

Contents

Fields

Field	Description
Transaction Currency	From the drop-down, select the currency that you want to use for the new expense items. This list includes all currencies that are enabled for your company in Vision > Configuration > General > Company Settings.
Payment Currency	This field displays the your company's assigned functional currency in Vision > Configuration > General > Company Settings.

Exchange Override Section

Use this section to specify the date or rate method for the exchange override. Note that if you select None as the Method, the remaining fields in this section are disabled and the default exchange rate for the selected override currency applies.

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 override the date or rate at the detail level on the appropriate line in the expense report grid. Navigator 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 for the exchange rate in place of the date on which the expense took place.
	You can only override the exchange date when the currency code on an expense row is different than the payment currency. This date is used for the exchange rate if you change the expense item's currency code to something other than the transaction override currency that is assigned on this dialog box.
Rate	If you select Rate in the Method field, enter the rate that you want to use in place of the currency exchange rate set up in Vision Configuration. This field is disabled if the Transaction Currency and Payment Currency values are the same.
