Entering currency period rates

  1. Select Currency Period Rates (CNP) in SunSystems.
  2. Specify this information:
    Currency Code From
    The code of the currency you want to convert from.
    Currency Code To
    The currency you want to convert to.
    Account From/To
    The only account code or range of account codes for which the period rate applies. Leave this blank if the rate applies to all codes. If a specified rate exists for an account code, that rate is used in preference.
    Status
    Each static data record contains a status code that determines the current processing status of the record. A status is assigned to each static reference record, for example to every account, asset, customer and supplier. It determines the current processing status of the record.
    • Open - this status is set automatically when you add a new record, for example, if you create a new account. Open items are available for input, inquiry, processing and reporting.
    • Hidden - a record with a hidden status does not appear on any inquiries but is available for input, processing and reporting.
    • Suspended/Held - a suspended record.
    • Closed/Completed - a closed record cannot be used for input or processing. For example, you cannot post transactions to a closed account or analysis code.
    You can alter the status of a record at any time. You must use the options on the Action menu to change the status.
    Period
    The accounting period to which the rate applies. Leave this blank to define a single rate that applies to all accounting periods.
    Currency Rate Type
    Use the currency rate type query button to select a currency rate type from the list. If it is not specified the Default rate type is used.
