Note: The exchange rates referenced on this page do not apply when making payments of U.S. taxes to the IRS. If the IRS receives U.S. tax payments in a foreign currency, the exchange rate used by the IRS to convert the foreign currency into U.S. dollars is based on the date the foreign currency is converted to U.S. dollars by the bank processing the payment, not the date the foreign currency payment is received by the IRS.
For additional exchange rates not listed below, refer to the governmental and external resources listed on the Foreign Currency and Currency Exchange Rates page or any other posted exchange rate (that is used consistently).
To convert from foreign currency to U.S. dollars, divide the foreign currency amount by the applicable yearly average exchange rate in the table below. To convert from U.S. dollars to foreign currency, multiply the U.S. dollar amount by the applicable yearly average exchange rate in the table below.
Also known as the mid-market rate, the spot rate or the real exchange rate, the interbank rate is the exchange rate used by banks and large institutions when trading large volumes of foreign currency with one another. It is not made for individuals and smaller businesses, as smaller money transfers tend to attract a higher mark-up, so that the exchange offering the service can make a profit.
My question is what formula can I use to find an exchange rate that is specified in a row of a table.
Ie : my table has the date needed, and the exchange rate code (say, USD) as a lookup. However, I cannot for the life of me work out how to do it - without perhaps a massive nested if statement.
Hello @Brendan_Woithe
Unfortunately with the way you set up your Exchange Rates Table you will need to use a switch() formula as @Ander showed.
Though there is another way, you can change the Exchage Rates table so it has just 3 columns: Date, Currency, Exchange.
That way you would only have to make a filter of the currency and the date to get the exchange rate with the next formula:
What I'm trying to achieve, is a query which converts the transactions to any currency, even if not explicitly stipulated in the EXCHANGE_RATE table, by converting the currencies to USD first, and then from USD into the destination currency.
The query (very basic) I've built so far is as follows, and I'm a novice SQL user. I built this query first to convert to USD, which works fine (as my Exchange Rate table contains values for all currencies to USD) - but it obviously fails when setting the destination currency as GBP, as it'll just return nulls.
You can revalue General Ledger accounts, based on current or estimated exchange rates, and revalue Sales and Purchasing transactions. Multicurrency information can be printed on reports, as well as printing reports specific to multicurrency. You also can view and compare open-year or historical multicurrency information in detail or summary form.
Exchange rate tables are used to store many exchange rates for a single currency. The tables are set up once in Microsoft Dynamics GP and the exchange rates assigned to the tables are entered periodically. You can use an exchange rate table in multiple companies if the companies use the same functional currency.
Use the Multicurrency Exchange Rate Table Setup window to set up exchange rate tables, specify the source for the exchange rates in the tables and select how often you want to update the exchange rate tables.
Select a rate frequency to indicate how often you plan to enter rates for the selected exchange rate table. If you select Miscellaneous as the rate frequency, enter the number of days that you want to use an exchange rate to set the default expiration date.
Exact Date Select if you want the default exchange rate only to be an exchange rate with the same date as the transaction date. If there is no exchange rate for the transaction date, there will be no default exchange rate.
Previous Date Select if you want the default exchange rate to be the rate for the closest previous date, if no rate exists for the transaction date. If an exchange rate exists for the transaction date, that rate will be used as the default exchange rate. You also will need to enter the number of previous days that you want to search for an unexpired exchange rate.
Next Date Select if you want the default exchange rate to be the rate for the closest date after the transaction date, if no rate exists for the transaction date. If an exchange rate exists for the transaction date, that rate will be used as the default exchange rate. You also will need to enter the number of previous days that you want to search for an unexpired exchange rate.
For security on exchange rates, you can select whether or not you want to allow users to remove and modify exchange rates and override exchange rate variances in the Multicurrency Setup window. You also can assign passwords to these options. For more information on exchange rate security, see Setting up Multicurrency Management options .
Use Rates Without Adding to Table Mark to use exchange rates one time without adding them to an exchange rate table. If you assign a password, it must be entered before using a rate without adding an exchange rate table during transaction entry or during the revaluation procedure.
Remove/Modify Rates Mark to remove or modify exchange rates in the Multicurrency Exchange Rate Table Maintenance window. If you assign a password, it must be entered before removing or modifying a rate.
Override Rates Mark to enter a different exchange rate for a transaction, overriding the default exchange rate from the selected exchange rate table. If you assign a password, it must be entered before overriding an exchange rate during transaction entry or the revaluation procedure.
Override Reporting Rate Mark to override the reporting currency exchange rate or rate calculation method on inquiries and reports. If you assign a password, it must be entered before overriding a reporting rate or rate calculation method.
Rate types distinguish between different exchange rates, such as a buy rate from a sell rate, by limiting the rate types to the appropriate exchange rate table. When you enter transactions, the appropriate exchange rate table for buying or selling can be selected automatically when you enter a currency ID and rate type. For more information about rate types, see Understanding rate types .
You also can select posting accounts based on the rate type. For example, if you sell products and purchase supplies using the same currency and exchange rate table, you may want to use different posting accounts to track the gains and losses.
You can assign more than one rate type to an exchange rate table. You can assign the same rate type to two different exchange tables that use the same currency. However, the two exchange tables must have different selections in the Base Exchange Rates On field in the Multicurrency Exchange Rate Table Setup window.
Choose Accounts to open the Multicurrency Posting Account Setup by Rate Type window to set up multicurrency posting accounts for each rate type that you've assigned to a currency. For more information, see Selecting posting accounts for each rate type .
Choose Rates to open the Multicurrency Exchange Rate Maintenance window to assign individual exchange rates to the exchange rate tables. For more information, see Assigning exchange rates to exchange rate tables Choose Save to save your entries.
Multicurrency posting accounts are the financial accounts used to track realized and unrealized gains and losses, offset accounts, rounding differences, and writeoffs. In Multicurrency Management, you can select posting accounts for the entire module, for specific currencies, or for each rate type assigned to a currency.
See Selecting posting accounts for each currency and Selecting posting accounts for each rate type for instructions on using the Multicurrency Posting Account Setup and Multicurrency Posting Account Setup by Rate Type windows. For information about the Posting Account Setup window, refer to the help.
Open the Multicurrency Posting Account Setup by Rate Type window. (Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> Setup >> Financial >> Rate Types >> Select an exchange table ID in the Select Multicurrency Rate Types window and choose Accounts)
You also can enter the functional equivalent and an average exchange rate for the currency; the originating amount will be calculated automatically. Or you can enter amounts in the Originating Amount and Functional Equivalent fields and the average exchange rate will be calculated automatically.
If you mark the Override Reporting Rate option in the Multicurrency Setup window, you can change the reporting currency exchange rate and calculation method using the Modify Reporting Rate window. You can change the reporting currency exchange rate and calculation method only for inquiry windows that use the currency list button. To open the Modify Reporting Rate window, choose currency list button >> Modify Reporting Rate. You also can open the Modify Reporting Rate window by choosing View >> Currency >> ModifyReporting Rate.
