Adjusting Currency Base Sets Exchange Rate to 1

Document number: 16812

 

Symptom:
When changing the currency base when entering an expense report, the exchange rate automatically defaults to 1.

Cause:
When calculating exchange rates, a rate_triangulate field is used to convert two currencies through a third currency (the reference currency). This was most commonly used for European countries while they were adopting the Euro. This must be turned on in order for currencies to be converted properly.

Resolution:
Contact your Shared Service Center to have the Currency Quotation Method (Rate Quotation Basis) changed from Direct to Indirect.
