To add currencies, use the integrated classifier as the most convenient way. To access it, press the Pick from List button on the toolbar of the respective catalog. In the displayed window double-click the currency that you want to add or select the line with the currency and then press the ‘Select’ button. All the currencies already have their international description, their currency code and symbol code.

For correct multicurrency transactions, set the correct exchange rate for the new currency in relation to your national currency (to learn which currency is selected as national in the system and how to change it, please refer to par. Settings for the 'Money' section).
To do so, first save the currency by pressing the ‘Save’ button, then click the Currency Rates button located on the toolbar above. In the displayed list press the ‘Create’ button on the toolbar and complete the Currency Rates (create) form. The exchange rate dated 1/1/1980 is created by default if you would like to have a backdated transaction with this currency. If you delete the exchange rate or edit the date, the system will return an error in case of a transaction with the date earlier than the first exchange rate in the list.
The Currency Rates (create) form
After completing the Currency Rates (create) form and before you close it, press the ‘Save and close’ or ‘Save’ button to save the applied changes. Then do the same to the Currency (create) form.
