Multiple Currencies

Multiple Currencies

The multi-currency support in CRM gives you the advantage to easily handle business transactions in the global marketplace. If you regularly deal with international clients and vendors, then Multi-Currency will facilitate international buying and selling. With Multi-Currency support in CRM, you can:

  • Estimate the value of an opportunity using the currency you deal in and also in the customer's local currency.
  • Generate and view reports in your organization's currency.
  • Import a single file that contains data with values in multiple currencies.

  • Home Currency

    It is the primary currency that your organization uses for its business. Often this is the currency used to generate annual reports and calculate the company's income. The Home Currency is most relevant for multinational companies that do business in multiple currencies. For example, a company has offices in Japan, India, and Spain, but its headquarters are in the US. So, the financial figures of this company are expressed in terms of US Dollars. In the example, the Home Currency is US dollars.

    Active Currency

    These are the currencies in which your organization does business. Only active currencies can be entered in opportunities and other fields.

    Inactive Currency

    These are the currencies that your organization no longer uses. Once deactivated, these currencies will not be deleted. They will still be listed under Currencies.

    Exchange Rates

    It is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. In your CRM account the exchange rate is used to convert an amount in one currency to the home currency used by your organization.

    Record Currency

    This is the currency for each record. All the currency values for a record will be based on the selected record currency.
