currency tables

[johnhugh]

Hello,

We have Accpac 5.5 with 2 company databases using the same system database.
Both companies have a different functional currency.
In the currency table do I just need to set up 1 currency table with say USD in as the TO-CURRENCY and Accpac will use the these entries for both companies or do I have to set up pa currency table for each functional currency?

You can use one table for both, less maintenance.

Hi Ettienne,

thanks for your reply.
I've just tried it with one table but then I get the warning message below and have to enter a rate manually.
I've deleted the AUD table so I only have USD table left. The USD table has entries for AUD though.
I went into my AUD company and tried doing an Order Entry for a USD customer. That's when the message popped up.

"No currency table defined that uses currency code USD with rate type SP and rate date 09/10/2010. Check that you specified correct currency information, or add the rate table you need in the Currency Rates window in Common Services.

Which date matching did you use? Earlier, Later, Exact, ...

Both companies are set to earlier.
