    Use Currency in Transactions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In iDempiere, currencies are applied during transaction processing, such as Purchase Orders<\/strong>, Sales Orders<\/strong>, Invoices<\/strong>, and Payments<\/strong>. The selected currency (or default Price List currency) determines transaction values, which the system automatically converts into the accounting currency and tracks any resulting exchange rate gains or losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
