I am not sure that is correct, nor that a close and restore of database is needed. IIRC you can use up to three currencies at once, as long as you give the exchange rates the system will work fine I guess.
Per transaction where money is involved (in an accounting package that will be almost all I guess) a pull-down menu will appear when there is more than one currency avaiable in the system. If have not tried this yet in my testfirm, but my hunch is that if all transactions are filled in correct with right currency, this pulldown menu will also show on the reports. Calculations on the exchange rates will be done before shoing the report on screen / at printer. If anyhow that should not be the case, have a look at global system settings. Here you can probably choose the currencies you want and the order in which you like to see them. Please feel free to use the concept of test firms for things like this. No copyright on the test firm concept, true Open Source as far as I know ;-) I find it most helpfull and what's even better, it does not break data in REAL databases. 2010/6/29 Bernd Plagge <[email protected]> > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi, > > also bear in mind that the FIRST currency listed is the default bookkeeping > currency! > P&L and balance sheet will show in the default currency. > > I think that you will have to close your books at end of June anyway. > As there can't be 2 default (base) currencies and the new currency would be > incorrect for all old postings I would install a new database and copy all > parts, services, customers, vendors etc. > Then, of course, specify EUR as base currency. > > Regards, > Bernd > > > On Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:54:52 +0200 > Paul Tammes <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I Suggest you check out: > > > > System:Currencies:List Currencies > > If not allready there, ADD currencies as needed. > > Precision in your case will be probably 0 for EEK cirrency and 2 for EUR. > > > > Then go to the SQL Ledger Menu item > > > > Echange rates > > > > to set exchange ratesfrom EEK to EUR and Back in SQL Ledger, will > probably > > be fixed from now till 2011 anyway, so no need to do updates. > > > > See > > > > http://coinmill.com/EEK_calculator.html#EEK=100 > > > > I guess 100 EEK is 6.38 EUR > > > > (Note: in case of other Currencies (USD, Pound) updating rates might be > VERY > > important, one could loose a LOT of money using the wrong rates!) > > > > HtH, > > Paul > > > > > > 2010/6/29 Janno Lamus <[email protected]> > > > > > Hi all! > > > First of all i wanna say thanks to all Sql-Ledger (123) team. > > > > > > How to show second currencie on template? > > > We use today EEK but we need to show EUR too from 1st July. > > > > > > On start of 2011 we get EUR! : ) > > > > > > > > > regards, Janno > > > > > > > > > -- > > > > > > Edastatud informatsioon on m�+Xeldud ainult sellele era- v�+Xi > juriidilisele > > > isikule, kellele see on adresseeritud, ning v�+Xib sisaldada > > > konfidentsiaalset ja/v�+Xi salastatud materjali.
