How to Add a New Currency
Before any orders can be placed you must first enter at least one currency.
From the Acquisitions home page, select Currencies on the left hand side, or from the System Administration page select Currencies & Exchange Rates under Acquisitions Parameters.
You must define a base currency or ‘active currency’. The active currency is the main currency you use in your library. Your active currency will have a check mark in the ‘Active’ column. The exchange rate for your active currency will be 1.0000 and only one active currency can be defined.
The ISO code you enter will be used when importing MARC files via the staging tools, the tool will attempt to find and use the price of the currently active currency.
When you are entering the exchange rate for all the other currencies you define it in terms of converting one unit of the new currency into your base currency.
This data is not automatically updated, so be sure to keep the exchange rate up to date so that your fund tracking is accurate.
