When you enter the Items in an Invoice, the prices will be converted from the home to the foreign Currency using the conversion rates shown on the 'Currency' card. If you wish to change the conversion rates, you can do so (if so allowed by the Prevent Base Rate Changes and Prevent Foreign Rate Changes options for the Currency in question), but note that this should be done before you enter any Items and that the change will apply to this Invoice only. In general, if the Exchange Rate or Base Currency Rate has changed, you should first go to the System module and enter the relevant Rate before you start the day's invoicing.

The Base field in the footer area of the screen shows the value of the Invoice (including VAT if appropriate) in the home Currency.

In the TOTAL field, the figure will be rounded according to the rounding rules determined for the Currency in the Currency Round Off setting.

If, once you have entered the Items, you realise that the Currency or conversion rate were not correct, there is no need to delete the Items and start again. Change the Currency or rate as appropriate and select the 'Update Currency Price List Items' function from the Operations menu. This will convert the prices of all Items on the Invoice.
