Converting Customer Records to the Euro

To convert the current and historical records to the euro currency for your customers who have switched to the euro, perform the following actions:

Note: You can only convert customers that are currently set up as using Part of Euro currencies.

Set up a currency code for the euro.
For each currency code used by the customers you are converting, enter the currency exchange rates for buying and selling, using the Currency Rates form.
Perform any invoice posting, check printing, wire posting, or draft posting for all customers being converted.

You must post all A/R transactions for these customers before running the conversion utility.
Access the Customer Euro Currency Conversion utility.
In the Starting and Ending fields, enter up to ten ranges of customer numbers for which to convert to the euro.

The customers you convert in one batch must all have the same currency code. To convert customers with a different currency code, perform this procedure again in a second batch.
In the Currency Code field, enter the currency code for the customers you are converting.

For example, if you are converting customers that previously used the French franc, enter the currency code for the franc that is defined on the Currency Codes form.
