Documentation

Definition

You need an additional currency if you want to manually influence a document you are creating in two different currencies (thus influencing the translation rate as well).

You can thus control the document balances in two - if you select the switch "Local currency" of the document type, in three - currencies, allowing you to manually correct any differences caused by rounding during the currency translation.

If you are only working with one currency (the transaction currency), the amounts are calculated in the currencies of the ledgers (with rate type "M" and with the local currency as the point of reference), but the rounding differences that might occur are not automatically cleared.
