Contents of the Currency Override Dialog Box

Use these fields and options to override the default currency exchange rate for an entire work breakdown structure when you accept an invoice in Interactive Billing.

For example, if your projects have phases and tasks, when you select a row for a certain phase/task on the Invoice Accept dialog box and override the exchange rate, it overrides the exchange rate for all the project detail rows in the grid with the same phase and task.

Field Description
Transaction Currency This field displays the transaction currency.
Project This field displays the project name and number for the project detail you selected in the grid on the Invoice Accept dialog box. Click the project name/number to view more information about the project.
Phase This field displays the phase name and number for the project detail that you selected.
Task This field displays the task name and number for the project detail that you selected.
Exchange Override Select the method that you want to use to override the exchange rate. The override applies for all the project detail rows in the grid on the Invoice Accept dialog box that have the same project, phase, and task (if you use phases and tasks) as the detail row that you selected on the Invoice Accept dialog box.

Options are:

  • None: This method uses the default exchange rate for the transaction currency, which is based on the effective date of the exchange rate and the date on which the invoice transaction is entered.
  • Date: This method uses an exchange rate in effect for a specific date that you choose, which is different than the date on which you enter the invoice transaction. When you select this option, enter a date in the field below the Exchange Override field.
  • Rate: This method uses a specific exchange rate. When you select this option, enter the exchange rate in the field below the Exchange Override field.
