Currencies

In this article

Section overview

This section displays the list of all currencies, registered in the system, in a form of a table of exchange rate relationships. Each currency has a direct exchange rate to any other currency on the list. Since currencies are the corner stone of the billing process, they are specified in various section of the system, such as Invoices, Rate Tables, Clients, Resellers, etc. Check out the section structure on the screenshot down below.

Adding a New Currency

You can add a new currency by clicking the New Currency button above the list. In a pop-up window (see screenshot below), you need to fill in the required fields and click OK.

Field	Description
Name	Name of a new currency
Rates Precision	Number of decimal places for rates formatting. By default, the field value is set to 4.
Details Precision	Number of decimal places for detailed monetary values formatting. By default, the field value is set to 4.
Totals Precision	Number of decimal places for total monetary values formatting. By default, the field value is set to 2.

The respective numbers will be displayed in all reports (details precision is used for all reports except xDR report) with cost and rate values in the statistics. Also, they will be shown in the invoices, except total values (totals always have 2 decimal places in invoices).

Specifying a Currency Rate

After you add a currency, you need to specify the rate. To do this, you need to (see animation down below):

Click the icon in the currency column, whose exchange rate you wish to specify
Click the button in a pop-up window and set Currency Rate and Date
Click Add

As a result, a new rate for the currency pair will be added. If more than one currency rate had been added, you can view a history of changes in the Date column.

Tip

Statistical data of a new currency will be available after it'd been added to the system. However, if the currency has an old start date, and you want old data to be billed in this currency, you need to run calls rerating.

Attention

Please note that changing of the system currency requires running of Dynamic Routing Manager to generate a routing table with rates in the new system currency.
