Factor

Specify a factor by which to multiply the exchange rate of the Base Currency for Conventional Unit when calculating the exchange rate of this currency.

  • If you set a currency as Is a Conventional Unit and base it on another conventional unit, then Exchange Rate for that particular conventional unit is calculated automatically based on the base currency.

  • If you change the exchange rate of a base currency for a particular date, the exchange rates of all dependent conventional units (currencies) are automatically updated for that date, based on their Factor.

  • If you change the Factor for a conventional unit (currency) that is based on another conventional unit, the exchange rate for the former conventional unit is not updated for any date. You have to change the exchange rate of the base currency for a particular date (as described in point two) to trigger the change of the exchange rate of the conventional unit in focus.

  • When you generate the Exchange Rate Differences or Conversion Differences reports, the currencies defined as Is a Conventional Unit are not available for selection and are not taken into consideration. Use the Amount Differences report [External].

Note Note

This type of currency must not be used for payment means operations, which means that you must not create actual cash payments or bank transfers in conventional units.
