This function is only relevant during the dual currency phase of the changeover to the euro between 01/01/1999 and 01/01/2001.
If the changeover of the settlement currency to euros has been made during this time, you must specify the exchange rate
foreign currency to EUR
for receipts.
If you have an exchange receipt which due to a cash exchange for example just shows the exchange rate
foreign currency to DEM
, you can use the function
Entry in Country Currency
to determine the correct
foreign currency to EUR
exchange rate.
Once you have entered the existing receipt data, choose the function
Entry in Country Currency
. The system automatically enters the correct exchange rate.

A traveler from a country participating in the European Monetary Union (EMU) travels during this period to a country that is not part of the EMU. As he only has the former currency of his country, he has to exchange it for the foreign currency. For example, he may only have the exchange rate
USD to DEM
. Travel Expenses, however, has already been changed over to the euro. The exchange rates of the traveler's USD receipts must therefore always relate to EUR. The traveler can enter the exchange rate
USD to DEM
shown on the exchange receipt and determine the USD to EUR exchange rate using the
Entry in Country Currency
function.
