If you work with multiple currencies, you can use Live Exchange Rates (online files only) or manually set the exchange rates on the Currency List windowrate inside the currency list. These rates are used to calculate local currency values in foreign currency transactions, but you can also update or override a rate when recording a transaction. Need help calculating a currency value or exchange rate? Try the Currency Calculator. There's over 150 foreign currencies available in AccountRight, but you so you don't need to create any. And you only need to enter exchange rates for the ones you use. Here's how:
