Currency Override Dialog Box

If you use the Multicurrency feature in Vision, 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.
