UPDATE OPEN A/R EXCHANGE RATES

Use this screen to load currency exchange rates into Costpoint Accounts Receivable. This ensures that the system will use the most current rates available when calculating gains and losses. If you do not use this screen before printing the aging report, out-of-date exchange rates may be used. This screen is especially important when exchange rates fluctuate substantially between the time that invoices are issued and the corresponding monies are collected.

Run this update before printing any customer statements, accounts receivable aging reports, or accounts receivable history reports; otherwise, out-of-date exchange rates may be used instead. This could result in an inaccurate recognition of gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.

You cannot update any A/R rates until you have successfully printed a report of these selections.
