Override protection

If you are using triangulation, you have the option of entering a spot rate for any currency relationship involved in triangulation. A spot rate is a rate that you can enter to override the currency system's default exchange rate. When you define a triangulated currency relationship, you must decide whether you want to allow spot rates to be entered by selecting or deselecting override protection. If override protection is chosen, you cannot enter a spot rate, or override the system provided rate, for any triangulated currency relationship.

The use of override protection has an impact on the release of multi-transaction currency journals in the GL system. See Automatic balancing and About balancing accounts.
