Conversion rates are expressed as the amount by which you multiply a unit of the
given currency to convert it to a unit of the base currency. For example, in March
1999, 1 US dollar (base currency) cost 1.51 Canadian dollars, 0.60 British pounds,
and 112.90 Japanese yen. On the same date, 1 euro cost 6.56 French francs (fixed on
entry into the EMU) or 1.17 US dollars (floating exchange rate).
Update a Currency Table Manually
If your model design is simple and does not use external data sources to supply
conversion rates, you can manually create and update the required currency tables.
If you used an external data source to create a preliminary Currency Table but
decide to maintain it manually, remember to clear the Use an external currency
data source check box.
Procedure
1. From the File menu, click Currency Table.
2. In the base Currency Table, click the default currency in the Currencies box
and click Add New Currency.
3. Select the required Country code, set other properties as required, and click
OK.
4. In the Conversion Rates table, click the Conversion Rate you want to change,
and make the required updates.
5. Repeat step 4 for every rate that you want to change.
6. Click OK to include your new conversion rate data in the model.
