The currencies used within Progress can be maintained via the Currency Maintenance window shown below.
Within this window, the user can amend the current system exchange rates, can add new currencies as well as link the currencies to the associated currency in their finance package. Any changes made need to be saved by clicking the ACCEPT option at the bottom of the window. The fields available are as follows:
Name
This is the name of the currency. This how it will appear when assigned to suppliers/customers in the system.
Rate
This is the current system rate for the currency. This rate can be amended if required but can also be linked to your finance package to allow automatic update of the rate to ensure the correct rates are being used at any given time.
Symbol
This is the currency symbol that is used when displaying monetary values in the system for the currency.
Last Updated
This allows the user to specify when the exchange rate was changed/came into effect. The user can select the appropriate date from the drop-down calendar.
Accounts Map
This number related to the ID number for the same currency in Sage. NOTE: THE NUMBER ENTERED HERE IS THE SAGE NUMBER MINUS 1 (i.e. currency ID 1 in Sage must be entered as 0 in the ACCOUNTS LINK field, currency ID of 3 would be entered as 2, etc.). This ensures that currency synchronisation of data between Progress and Sage is correct.
Transactions
The transactions tab at the top allows the user to view changes made to the currencies, who made them and when and can be used to track changes over a period of time.
