If you use the Multicurrency feature, you can schedule and automate the updating of exchange rates. Deltek partners with XE.com, an online foreign exchange tools and services company, to supply up-to-date exchange rates to Vision users. After you establish a contract and payment process with XE.com, you can use the XE.com Rates tab of General System Settings to enter configuration settings.
Contract with XE.com to Get Data
To set up license information on the XE.com Rates tab in Vision, you must first contract with XE.com either for a new or existing license:
- New XE.com license — You must contract with XE.com before setting up licensing information in Vision. Click
here to register with XE.com. Reference
Deltek Vision as the permitted application and
Deltek as the vendor referral in the registration and then complete the following procedure/steps.
- Existing XE.com license — If you have an existing XE.com license, you must renew your license agreement with XE.com. The new agreement will provide access to the XE.com APIs that are required for use with Vision 7.6. These APIs replace the datafeed method that was used in all prior versions of Vision. Click
here to access the Migration Form. After you complete and submit this form, XE will contact you with an agreement. When all terms are complete, XE.com will email you the Account ID and associated API Key for your license, as detailed in the following procedure/steps.
