EXCHANGE RATES

Use this non-editable subtask of the Vouchers subtask to view exchange rates that were calculated to pay vouchers. Vouchers represent bills submitted to your company for payment; exchange rates designate the price at which the currency of one country is traded for the currency of another country.

You can also use this subtask to view exchange rates for non-Euro and Euro currencies. The Euro is the currency used in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Non-Euro currencies represent the legal tender used in the remaining countries.

Freeze Rate

If this check box is selected, Costpoint has halted any activity associated with the exchange rate information referenced in this subtask. This suspension occurs after a transaction has posted.

If the transaction posted and this check box was selected, Costpoint ignores any subsequent updates to the exchange rate throughout the life of this record. In this case, all evaluations of this record will be based on the exchange rate at the time the transaction posted. Example.

In addition, if you selected the Freeze Rate check box, this transaction was excluded when you executed the Update Open Accounts Payable Exchange Rates process. The Update Open Accounts Payable Exchange Rates process inserts the most current exchange rate into the history tables to allow the calculation of unrealized gains and losses.

Since all of the fields in this subtask are non-editable, the functionality of this check box is disabled; you cannot use it to halt or suspend exchange rate activity.
