Assigning permitted currencies to a company – An overview
Each company will have a base currency identified, which will be utilized for all statutory reporting. The base currency will act as the default / preferred currency for all transactions performed in the company. The base currency is already identified in the “Maintain Company Information” page.
In addition to the base currency, there are other currencies that are permitted to be used in business transactions for a company. They can be identified as “Permitted Currencies” for a company.
The currency details are already defined in the “Maintain Currency Information” activity. Using the help facility provided here, you could retrieve the relevant ISO currency codes and associate them to the company as ‘permitted currencies’.
