Where are the Exchange Rates used?
The exchange rate table has 2 sets of rates - this is for backwards compatibility to older versions of Class, and unless you have specific reasons for using different rates, then the "top" exchange rates should be the same as the "bottom" exchange rates.



Exchange rate Base to GBP:

"Top" - used for invoicing, reporting and stats.
The stats section also provides additional exchange rate options.

"Bottom" exchange rates (Class Ledger Exchange Rate Matrix)

Used for:

1. Recording the "rate to base" at time the invoice is produced. When you update your exchange rates (April and November), this will affect the "base" value held in the invoice, and therefore the Ledger Nominal Analysis.

2. Ledger Reports/Statistics
Eg. A - Control Totals / B - Nominal Analysis (Period End Accounting)

3. Exchange rates are not applied to the following Ledger report:
A - Receipt Reporting
B - Unallocated Cash
C - Ledger Balances/Reconciliation
D - Ledger Arrival Prepayments

In practise the top and bottom rates of exchange will be the same, but 2 rates exist for backwards compatibility.

"Euro or Other Rate" can be used to reflect the "Euro" exchange rate (on an invoice) when a country is in the process of converting to the Euro, but may also be used to reflect a currency comparison, typically on an invoice, to another base currency, eg. Canadian schools may wish to show CAD$ with a comparative value to the USD$.
