Uses of currency tables

You must assign a currency table to any company that uses multiple currencies. The currency table assigned to a company must contain, at a minimum, all the currency relationships, currency exchange and currency translation rates that the company uses.

A currency table reduces the time involved in creating and maintaining currency rates and relationships because it lets you define all the currency relationships, currency exchange rates, and currency translation rates shared by multiple companies and maintain them in one place. With currency tables, you can also define multiple sets of exchange rates and translation rates applicable to the same currency relationships. Thus, two companies can use different rates for the same currency relationships by using different tables.

To upload and maintain non-Lawson currency relationship records into a currency relationship, you can use CU62, CU 162. Use CU262 to run a report of currency relationship interface data file records.
