Defining a currency table (AR/CU)

A currency table contains currency relationships, exchange rates, and translation rates that can be used by one or more companies.

Follow these steps to define a currency table:

Access Currency Table (CU00.1).
Specify the table name and table description.
Select an Auto Generate value. If you select Yes, reciprocal currency relationships are automatically generated when one side is added.
Use the Add form action to create the currency table.

Other procedures related to currency tables

Once the currency table is defined, you can assign it to a company. However, you will need to populate it with currency relationships and currency rates before you can enter non-base currency transactions for the company. Consider these buttons on CU00.1.


Currency Relationship	Click this button to open Currency Relationship (CU02.1) and define currency relationships for the currency table. See Defining currency relationships (AR/CU). Note: You must define a currency relationship between two currencies before you can define exchange rates or translation rates for those currencies.
Exchange Rates	Click this button to open Exchange Rates (CU10.1) and define exchange rates for the currency table. See Defining currency exchange rates (AR/CU). Note: Depending on the currency options you selected for your General Ledger company, you can define exchange rates or translation rates, or both exchange rates and translation rates, for the currency relationships that exist in the table. The two types of rates are independent of each other and it does not matter which you enter first.
Translation Rates	Click this button to open Currency Table Translation Rates (CU20.1) and define translation rates for the currency table. Note: Depending on the currency options you selected for your General Ledger company, you can define exchange rates or translation rates, or both exchange rates and translation rates, for the currency relationships that exist in the table. The two types of rates are independent of each other and it does not matter which you enter first.
