SECTION 3.5.A8.1- ADD A NEW
FOREIGN CURRENCY
USAGE: To add a new Foreign Currency code to the Foreign
Currency master-file.
DISCUSSION: When you start this function, the computer will
initially ask for a Foreign Currency code. Insert a code and press <Enter>. This code must be up to 3 characters and must not
contain any imbedded spaces.
To return to the FOREIGN CURRENCY MENU, press <ESC>.
Once HiFinance has accepted the code you will be
presented with a screen full of all the fields you can enter information into. The
available fields are:
DESCRIPTION This is a human readable description of the Currency. Eg USD might have a description of US Dollars. The description you enter here will be displayed in the PUCHASE and PUCHASE ORDER programs. This field must not be left blank.
SYMBOL Here you enter the Currency Symbol. Eg $. You may need
to use the special keyboard functions to enter some symbols, eg ¥ is alt(157).
For further advice please call your dealer or Horizon Information Systems.
CONVERSION RATE FROM $A This is the rate to convert from Australian Dollar. This
will be the default rate that is used in PURCHASE’s. However, this can
be overridden.
Where required, enter a value into each field that is
surrounded by brackets. To move to the next field, press <Enter>. Complete your entry by pressing <F10>. If HiFinance has found no inconsistencies in your
entries, you will be asked to confirm and the information will then be saved to
disk.
If, at any time, you wish to abort the entry
sequence, press <ESC>. You will be asked to
confirm your request. If you abort the entry, all current changes will be
cancelled and the record will not have
been added to the master-file.
Several function keys are available while you enter
the Currency information:
<F4> This allows you to enter a note detailing any
non-structured information.
<F10> This will end the input phase and cause HiFinance to
test the screen ready for update. Pressing <F10> can save you having to
press <Enter> all the way to the end of
the screen.
<ESC> This will abort the entry of the record. If you press
<ESC>, the record will not be
saved to the Currency master-file.
