Trade feature
Several currencies, one clear picture
Businesses in Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and Cardiff get the same fixed-scope approach and a named contact who replies within a working day. In foreign trade the quote may be in one currency and payment arrive in another, and exchange differences affect profit. The system keeps prices and invoices in currencies such as GBP, EUR and USD, records the rate at document date, calculates the exchange difference at payment date and shows the GBP equivalent.

Currency and rate
A default currency is defined for each customer and supplier; quote, order and invoice are issued in it. Rates are entered by hand or imported from a file, recorded on each document and the GBP equivalent is shown next to it.
A connection to a live rate source is assessed separately.
Exchange difference and reporting
When payment arrives the invoice rate and the payment rate are compared and the exchange difference is shown on a separate line. Open receivables and sales are reported per currency; exchange-difference items are separated for the transfer to accounting.
Exchange-rate policy and accounting treatment belong to the company and its specialist.

UK-specific points
In the UK the base currency is GBP, but a large part of purchasing and sales is in EUR. The system supports GBP as base currency with several foreign currencies; managing exchange-rate risk is the responsibility of the company and its specialist, the software gives no financial advice.
