This feature allows you to define different currencies for rating purposes and for financial transactions. You can define rating currency and payment currency in the tariff profile for both master and referential tariffs. The rating currency cannot be changed once the tariff profile is saved, but you can modify the payment currency at any time.
Conversions between the rating currency and payment currency will automatically be done where appropriate by the system.
For example: When a voucher is created, the system compares the payment currency and rating currency. If they are different, then the system will convert the voucher detail amount from the rating currency and express it in the payment currency. The voucher property sheet displays charge amounts in both currencies. Voucher adjustments can be defined in any currency. The system will compute the equivalent amount in payment current using the exchange rate previously recorded for the voucher.
For vouchers to be matched to freight bills, the voucher payment currency must be the same as the freight bill currency if the Match Freight Bill Currency flag for the carrier is True. Mismatched currencies are permitted when the Match Freight Bill Currency flag is False.
For vouchers to be matched to invoices, the voucher payment currency must be the same as the invoice currency.
For vouchers to be grouped onto a single freight bill or customer invoice during freight-bill auto-payment or invoice generation, vouchers must share the same payment currency.
