    For most companies, the primary rate source will adequately meet the need for exchange rates for all currencies used by the company. However, in some cases, a secondary rate source may be necessary when the data provided by the primary source is insufficient for all relevant currencies. To ensure full exchange rate functionality in RamBase, it is important to have a backup option in place. Exchange rate from the secondary rate source will only be used for currencies not supported by the primary source. The available sources for the secondary rate source are the same as those for the primary source.

    When a new rate source is entered, transactions made after the from date will utilize the exchange rate from the new source. Transactions made prior to the from date will continue to use the exchange rate from the previous source.

    To view available exchange rates for each rate source, access the Currency menu (CUR) application. From the drop-down menu on the upper right corner, select the desired rate source and click on a date to see which currency rates are supported by that source.
