In this step you define the leading currencies for the various currency pairs. The system uses these settings to determine the rate notation when you enter foreign exchange transactions and forex options.
In addition, you can enter the number of days between conclusion of the forex transaction and the value date in the Spot days field. Usually this is two working days. Depending on the currency, there may be deviations from this rule. You should only make an entry in this field if practices on the international forex market follow a different rule to the usual two day rule.
Example
If you enter a forex transaction amounting to 40,000 USD and enter 1.10 in the exchange rate field, the system can use the leading currency to calculate the amount in euros.
Leading currency EUR -> 40,000 USD / 1.10 EUR/USD = 36,363.64 EUR
Leading currency USD -> 40,000 USD * 1.10 USD/EUR = 44,000.00 EUR
Rate notation in Treasury:
Notation: Leading currency/Following currency
Interpretation: The rate expresses the amount in the following currency for one unit of the leading currency.
