Documentation

Definition

If you check this field, the currency will be translated using the inverse exchange rate.

Example:
On 1/1/1992, the US dollar cost DM 2.00, and the DM cost USD 0.45. Sales made on this day in dollars are translated into DM when they are posted in the system. If you wish to translate this amount back into the original currency, it can be achieved simply by using the inverse rate 1 / (DM 2.00 / USD) = USD 0.50 / DM which arrives at the exact original amount. To do this, set the 'Invert' flag with 'X'.

Note that you cannot control the exchange rate with this flag. The global Customizing settings for currency conversion are not affected. See also the documentation on exchange rates.
