Documentation

Definition

Describes an exchange rate type that works with fixed exchange rates. Exchange rate fixing affects the application if exchange rates are to be calculated from currency amounts you have entered. In this case, the system may continue processing using the fixed exchange rate instead of the exchange rate calculated. If exchange rates other than the fixed exchange rates are used, the system displays warning messages or error messages.

Example

1. As from 01.01.1999, the currencies of the Member States of
European Monetary Union are fixed.

2. If the exchange rate type is G (which functions as the bank buying
rate to the average rate M) and this indicator is set, one fixed
exchange rate only is used.
