Add currency
If your currency is not listed, you can add a currency. To do so, just click the button New Currency.
Now you're able to select your currency code. After selecting a currency code, Cybooks will automatically pre-fill all other fields like the Currency Name, Symbol, Decimal places and Format for you.
System / Base currency
By default EUR is used as the system and base currency. You're not able to delete the base currency.
All transactions in Cybooks are always based on the system currency.
Exchange rates
You don't have to enter any exchange rates for the currency, Cybooks is fetching every day the latest exchange rates for each currency based on your base currency.
By default Cybooks uses the current rate the day a transaction is recorded.
Invoicing
To create an invoice in another currency than EUR you have to create a new Contact. Each contact belongs to a currency.
Contact
When you're creating a contact you can set a default currency for a contact. By default each contact is created with the system's base currency which is EUR.
However: Within the Default Settings of a contact, you're able to set a different currency for the contact.
A contact can just have one currency. As soon as you've created a transaction for a contact like an Invoice, you can't change the currency of a contact anymore.
