Round Off Card
- Prevent Foreign Rate Changes
- When you use Currencies in Sub System transactions of any kind (for example, in Invoices or Purchase Invoices), you can change the exchange rates between the home and the foreign Currencies. Such changes will only apply to the single transaction for which they have been specified. If you do not wish to allow such ad hoc changes, switch this option on.
The other fields and check boxes are not used by the simple conversion system, unless you use it in combination with the Dual Base system. Please refer to the description of the Currency record when used with the Dual Base system
here for details.
Text Card
- Value in Text Name
- Enter here the name of the Currency as it is to be shown on printed documents such as Invoices or Cheques. The Value in Text Name field should contain the singular form of the Currency name, while the Value in Text Name (2-4) and (5-) fields should contain the plural. Two plural fields have been provided because some Languages such as Russian and Lithuanian have more than one plural form, depending on the quantity involved. For more details about including amounts in words in a document, please refer to the description of the Values in Text setting.
- Minor Currency Name
- The Minor Currency is the one hundredth part of the Currency (for example, pence, cents or öre). Enter here its name as it is to be shown on printed documents such as Invoices or Cheques. The Minor Currency Name field should contain the singular form of the name, while the Minor Currency Name (2-4) and (5-) fields should contain the plural. Two plural fields have been provided because some Languages such as Russian and Lithuanian have more than one plural form, depending on the quantity involved.
- Gender
- These options are used in Languages with two genders: use them to signify the genders of the Value in Text Name and the Minor Currency Name.
- The Values in Text setting in the System module contains a grid where the words for each number between one and 99 can be entered. This grid has two columns, for the masculine and feminine versions of these words. The appropriate version is used, depending on the gender set here.
