Currency Conversion

Agiblocks can be configured to use multiple currencies for contract pricing and goods costing. Currency conversion is used for reporting and for single case conversion (like Forex). Currency conversion has been standardized across all modules.

Currency pairs (Base and Variable) are defined in Master data. This determines the multiply/divide direction in which rates will be applied. Currency curve rates are recorded in Market Data, in relation to the Reference Currency. The Reference Currency is similar to the Variable currency under Currency Pairs. For example, if the Reference or Variable Currency is Euros, a rate of 0.72 means 0.72 EUR per 1 USD Base Currency.

Base Currency x Rate = Variable Currency.
USD        x Rate        = EUR

 138        x 0.72        = 100

 

Variable Currency ÷ Rate = Base Currency.
EUR        ÷ Rate        = USD

 100        ÷ 0.72        = 138

 

Rate        = Variable Currency ÷ Base Currency
Rate        = EUR        ÷ USD
 0.72        = 100        ÷ 138
