A Currency Transfer transaction allows the movement of values across nominal accounts of different currencies. This function can be found in the Cashbook.
Example: To reduce the Home Currency (HC) balance by 400 without effect on the Foreign Currency (FC)
Go to Financials, Cashbook and open the Currency Transfer option from the ribbon.
Credit the currency account at exchange rate 0.2 for HC500 = FC100
Tab to a new line and Debit the home currency by HC400 (FC values are not recorded in HC accounts)
Tab to a new line and Debit the FC account at exchange rate 1 for HC100 = FC100
The net effect is to move HC400 from the FC account with no effect on its balance.
