Currencies

On the Currencies tab in the Properties dialog of the business group, you configure the currencies. The options are identical with those of the step Configure the currencies in the Business Group Wizard.

Select the group currency of the business group from the drop-down list Currency of the business group. This is important for the representation in reports and for the currency translation for transactions from one business entity to another.

In the ISO code column, you assign a code from the table System > Currencies. This is important for the unambiguous mapping of currencies, because currencies in different business entities may have different IDs.

A business entity may have several currencies. With the settings in the Currency function column, you specify, whether the values of the currencies are imported and which function a currency has in the target database.

Currency function Description
Used The values of the currency are imported as the currency of the business entity. You may import several currencies per business entity with the Used function.
Local Select this function for the local currency, if you import data. You may only import one currency per business entity with the Local function.
Not used The values of the currency are not imported into the OLAP database.
Note: You must import at least one currency per business entity with the currency function Used or Local.
