In ActivReporter, unit conversion rates are read-only.
Unit conversion rates define the rates and operation used to convert from one currency to another. These rates are part of the multi-currency feature available in financial designs for performing simple translation between currencies as of a particular date.
When you double-click a unit conversion rate in the HD view, the associated Unit Conversion Table window opens to the Unit Conversion Table tab with focus on the selected rate in the Rates table.
Conversion rates satisfy four constraints:
Conversion rates must be positive numbers.
The "from" and "to" unit on a conversion rate cannot be the same unit.
The expiration date of a conversion rate cannot precede its effective date.
Duplicate conversion rates cannot exist for the same date.
The Unit Conversion Rates Listing provides a list of unit conversion rates defined in the General Ledger.
