Use Cash Register Currency Factors to maintain exchange-rate information for payment methods that use a foreign currency.

What this page is used for

This page stores currency conversion values per:

  • Cash Register Payment Method
  • Starting Date

It supports foreign-currency cash payment scenarios in CashPro.

Main fields

Cash Register Payment Method

Specifies the payment method for which the factor applies.

Starting Date

Specifies the date from which the factor is effective.

Currency Exchange Rate

Specifies the exchange rate used for the payment method.

If you enter a Currency Factor, CashPro automatically calculates the Currency Exchange Rate as:

  • 1 / Currency Factor

This value is derived from the payment method setup.

How to maintain values

You can enter either:

  • the Currency Exchange Rate, or
  • the Currency Factor

CashPro derives the other value automatically, as long as the entered value is not zero.

Typical usage

Use this page when:

  • a store accepts foreign-currency cash payments
  • a payment method is assigned to a non-LCY currency
  • exchange-rate handling must change over time using effective dates

Important notes

  • The setup is linked to the payment method, not directly to a sales line.
  • If a foreign-currency payment method has no usable factor, payment can fail.
  • Effective dating allows rate changes over time.
