FOREIGN CURRENCY CODE This is the code you wish to access the currency by.
It is an abbreviation of the name of the code, eg USD for U.S. Dollar or EUR
for Euro.
DESCRIPTION A short description of the currency, or its actual
name. It may be up to 50 characters long. This field must not be left blank.
SYMBOL This is a 3 character code and can be basically anything
that the keyboard will allow you to enter. This symbol is printed on Purchase
Orders, so it is also important that the character can be printed, correctly,
on your printer. Some experimentation may be necessary.
CONVERSION RATE FROM $A This is the conversion rate from $A to the Foreign Currency. It is
the default rate and can be overwritten during processing.
