IM-C  Enter Currency Exchange Rates

Purpose of Program

Use this program to enter the current rates for up to 10 different source currencies.  These rates are used throughout the system to convert source currencies into base currency and to calculate foreign exchange gains or losses.  A lookup is provided on the Date field that lets you view rates entered on previous dates.  

Each time you update exchange rates, a record is saved of the previous exchange rates so that transactions, no matter how far backdated they are entered, can be matched to the closest historical exchange rate.
