This exchange rate table is used in connection with purchase orders and vendor invoices relating to the job. If you do not specify an exchange rate table in this field, Maconomy will use the exchange rate table specified in the window System Information in the Set-Up module.

When you copy or create jobs to which job price lists have been assigned, Maconomy will recalculate the prices on the job price lists according to the fixed price information of the job. In connection with the conversion of intercompany prices, Maconomy will use the exchange rate table for purchases.

This exchange rate table is used in connection with calculation of sales prices on the basis of budgeted or registered expenses on the job, for example, in the windows Job Budgets and Job Journal.
