Override the Currency or Exchange Rate

If you use the Multicurrency feature in iAccess and your expense report is editable, you can use the Currency Override dialog box to select a different currency or exchange rate for one or more items on your expense report.

Refer to Currency and Exchange Rate Overrides for more information.

To override the default currency or exchange rate for expenses you are going to add to the report, complete the following steps:
  1. Click to go to the Expense Reports area, and select the expense report for which you want to override the transaction currency type or exchange rate for one or more items.
  2. Click on the Expense Reports toolbar.
  3. To apply a different transaction currency, select the currency In TRANSACTION CURRENCY.
  4. To override the exchange rate, do one of the following:
    • To use the rate that applied on a specific date, select Date in METHOD, and either enter the date in DATE or click in that field and select the date.
    • To use a specific rate, select Rate in METHOD, and enter exchange rate in RATE.
  5. Click Save.

    The currency override information applies to any new expense items that you subsequently add. It also applies to an existing expense item if you change its currency to match the override currency.
