Multi-currency Parameters

To standardize the report printing function, there are formulae which are consistent through all reports which can be printed with multi-currency information.

Decimals Home

This field is sent through by the Cashbook program, and contains the number of decimals of the home currency. This parameter is used in currency amounts (dollar value) fields to specify the number of decimal places to print, if you want the amount to print with the home currency number of decimals.

MC On

The Cashbook program sends through a 0 or 1 value to this field. The 0 specifies that no multi-currency information must be printed, and 1 that multi-currency information must be included in the report where relevant.

In the prewritten reports, all multi-currency information is kept together in the detail section in a “multi-currency block”.

When using multi-currency parameter, it is a good idea to format the group section of your report to Suppress Blank Lines and Keep Sections Together. This will prevent your report from having unnecessary blank lines and splitting your multi-currency information across pages.
