Exchange rates in SwiftlyBooks

The rate on a quote or invoice

• Raising a quote, invoice or sales order in a currency prices are converted into, such as ZiG, asks Which rate?: today's, the last used for that customer, or another you type. A sale at the till starts on today's, with a row to change it.
• Prices from your price list follow the rate. A price you typed, or one fixed in that currency, stays.
• A rate stays on its own document, and an invoice keeps its quote's rate. The official rate still values the books.
• A rate far from today's shows in amber for whoever approves it. Settings says how far, and whether the rate prints.
• Every rate used is kept: open the Rates used tab, and download it as a CSV.

• A document dated a day without rates takes the latest before it.
• Changing a day's rates leaves what is already posted at the rates it used.
