If the transaction and functional currencies are the same, no rate determination will be necessary. In this case, this field displays "1.0000000."

If the transaction and functional currencies are different, the system calculates the rate using the parameters you established for records in the Configure Multicurrency Settings screen.

For those transactions that involve Euro currencies, this field is titled Trans to Euro and displays the rate for the transaction to Euro currency. This field is titled Trans to Func if non-Euro currencies are being exchanged.

N/A or Euro to Func

For those transactions that involve Euro currencies, this field is titled Euro to Func and displays the rate for the Euro to functional currency. This field displays as N/A if non-Euro currencies are being exchanged.

When you click the Apply button, it synchronizes the main screen information and all applicable subtasks on the main screen so they are consistent with the information on this subtask.
