Definition

If overwriting of existing exchange rates is permitted, it is also possible to delete and reinsert existing exchange rates. Be aware that this means that information in the receiver system about the exchange rate history is also deleted.

Example:
You want to send the following entry from the source system:
M USD DEM 01.01.1999 1,87740 1 : 1
The following entry exists in the target system:
M USD DEM 01.01.1999 1,60000 1 : 1
If the flag is set, the entry in the target system is deleted. This also means that it is no longer possible to find out which exchange rate was used for calculations in the past.
