Currencies

You set a default currency (system currency) for all amounts in Opter on the Pricing tab in the office settings. It is not possible to change the default currency in the Currency window. The one marked as default () only reflects the setting in the office settings. You can make exceptions to the default currency at different levels, for example for individual customers and hauliers.

Create a currency

Click on Economy > Currencies and then on . Then make the settings that will apply to the currency. Remember to enter the exchange rates for the default currency and other major currencies in the tab Currency rates.

Common settings for euros:

Setting currency for customers

To find a customer in the customer register, go to the Invoice information tab and select a currency from the Currency drop-down list. Click on to save all changes. If the desired currency is not there, click on and create a new one.

Opter uses the new currency when calculating prices. This means that orders that have already been created will not automatically receive the new currency. Therefore, the prices of those orders have to be recalculated. For more information, see Recalculating (updating) prices.

Setting currency for hauliers and subcontractors

If you have hauliers and subcontractors in other countries, you can make it easier for them by settling in their currency. Click on Register > Suppliers/Subcontractors > tab Pricing and Billing and select currency from the drop-down menu Currency. You must have an exchange rate between the currency you choose and the default currency for the amount on the statement to be correct.

The price lines in the order reception show the settlement amount in the currency of the haulier/subcontractor. On the statement itself, you can display the total amount in the currency of the resource or the default currency with the following tags:

SBI_TransportAmount: Displays the amount in the currency of the haulier/subcontractor if different from the default currency, otherwise the amount is displayed in the default currency.
SBI_TransportAmount_Standard: Displays the amount in the default currency.

Settlement exports to other financial systems are always made in the default currency.
