This window appears when you complete your replies in the New Rates Window |
Purpose |
This window enables you to quickly add and amend new exchange rate entries for the selected exchange rate table and start date for converting from the currency selected in the Currency Parameters Window. This currency is displayed in the title bar of the window and is referred to below as the 'from' currency. |
|
This window lists any exchange rate entries with the same start date which have already been defined in the exchange rate table for converting the 'from' currency. |
|
You use this window to define new exchange rate entries for converting from the 'from' currency to the currency defined for each entry (the 'to' currency). |
|
You can use this window to automatically replace previous exchange rate entries which are current on the selected start date if their expiry date is blank, but not if expiry dates have been set. |
|
This window has the following features to make it quick and easy to enter new exchange rates: § You are not prompted for an expiry date. Exchange rate entries added through this window have their expiry date left blank. If necessary, you can set up expiry dates via the Exchange Rates Maintenance Window. |
|
§ When you enter an exchange rate in this window, Global 3000 checks the preceding entries in the table for the currency combination. If the expiry date on the last entry is blank, Global 3000 automatically re-sets it to the day before the start date of the new entry. |
|
§ When you add an entry in this window, a corresponding entry with the 'from' and 'to' currencies transposed is automatically added to the exchange rate table. Both entries have the same rate, and the operation (Op) is set to multiply on one and divide on the other. |
Note |
You cannot enter a new exchange rate in this window for currencies defined as sub-currencies on the start date. To enter a new rate for a sub-currency, use the Exchange Rates Maintenance Window. |
Note |
Global 3000 re-instates the previous rate, by removing its expiry date. |
The prompts are:
Converting |
Enter the code of the currency you are converting to; i.e. the 'to' currency. Press <F1> for a list of valid currency codes. The name of the currency is displayed to confirm your choice. |
Note |
You cannot enter a currency here: § Which is defined as a sub-currency on the selected start date. |
|
§ For which the expiry date on its last entry is not blank, and is after the selected start date. |
|
To create new entries for these currencies, use the Exchange Rates Maintenance Window |
Rate |
Enter the exchange rate. This can be specified to six decimal places of precision. |
Op |
(Display only.) This indicates whether the 'from' currency is multiplied or divided by the exchange rate to convert it to the 'to' currency. If the new rate is replacing a previous entry, this is set to the value on the superseded entry, otherwise it is set to /. It can be one of the following: § * if values in the 'from' currency are multiplied by the exchange rate to convert them to values in the 'to' currency. |
|
§ / if values in the 'from' currency are divided by the exchange rate to convert them to the 'to' currency. |
Note |
If you need to change this setting, use the Exchange Rates Maintenance Window. |
