Currency Exchange
How to use Currency Exchange in Company Setup: access, working steps, fields, related records and troubleshooting.
Purpose and access
Maintain company identity, accounting defaults, addresses and organization structure. Review the company selected on every transaction. Company print setup uses the location directory and does not replace a supplier or customer address.
This page is a record page in System Admin → Company Setup. Use the link above to open the configured destination; permissions are checked by the destination service.
Before you start
Prepare the required information: Date, From Currency, To Currency, Exchange Rate.
Confirm the company, party, dates, units and source references that apply. Select existing links carefully and check for an existing record before creating a duplicate.
Working steps
- Open Currency Exchange from System Admin → Company Setup, or use ERP Search.
- Filter the list and open the relevant record. To add a record, use Add/New when your role provides that action.
- Complete the editable fields described below. Required fields and validation conditions must be satisfied; read-only values are set by the system or their source records.
- Save the record and address validation messages. Reload and verify the saved values and relationships.
- Use any additional workflow actions only when the record and your role provide them. Saving this record does not automatically complete a related transaction or external action.
Field reference
These fields come from the installed ERP definition. Hidden fields and password inputs are omitted. Additional conditions, custom scripts and workflow rules can make a field required or read-only in a particular context.
| Field | Type / behavior | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
Datedate | Date Required | Choose the business date required for this field. Confirm its relationship to other dates on the record. |

Troubleshooting
- Not permitted: verify the account, role and source-document permission. Do not share an administrator login.
- Missing record or address: inspect the relevant Link or Dynamic Link fields; a matching title alone does not establish a relationship.
- Cannot save or change status: review required fields, read-only values, document status and the configured approval transition.
- Unexpected report or portal result: review company/date filters, source-document submission and the approved party or Employee link.
