button were added to the screen to allow capturing account values in different
currencies.
By default, the Cost Centre / Company
currency screen will be loaded (unless switch ‘CA – Default to Capture
Currency in Budget Type Capture View’ selected in Admin) which will display the
currency values for the currency selected in the dropdown in the header i.e.,
either cost centre or company currency.
These currency values represent the values
posted to the cost centre and account selected and are converted from the capture
currency, based on the setup currency conversion.
When selecting the Capture Currency
button the screen will display each account with the Currency values in
which the account was captured, which may result in different accounts
displaying values in different currencies.

displayed.

import has been used to import Item Actual values for the Item and Actual Year
combination of the forecast Fiscal Set, then these imported values will be
displayed against the Items in the ‘Item Values’ section – for Amount and
Percentage type items.
