Use the Manage Exchange Rates by Date screen to enter foreign currency exchange rates for an exchange rate group. You must enter the rates in chronological order, with each row entered for a later date range than the rows above.
You can enter daily exchange rates at any time, and the rates can be for one day or for a range of days. These rates are the defaults for the Exchange Rates subtask that appears throughout Costpoint.
Use Query to select the exchange rate group. This rate group was created on the Manage Exchange Rate Groups screen.

This column displays the change percentage. Costpoint calculates this information by subtracting the prior rate from the current rate and dividing the result by the prior rate amount. You cannot edit this column.
If the change percentage exceeds the rate change tolerance specified on the Manage Exchange Rate Groups screen, Costpoint displays an error message and the new rate is not allowed. For example, if the fluctuation limit for this currency from/to combination is 5 percent, you cannot enter any rate that is a change (either positive or negative) of more than 5 percent. (If you edit pre-existing rows of daily rates, only the edited row is validated against the fluctuation limit.)
You can enter a note of up to 254 alphanumeric characters for the exchange rate.
