14331 – Currency dropdown displays incorrect exchange rate when period exchange rates are activated

Version Reported In

Sicon Cashflow v221.0.20

Detailed Description

If you use Period exchange rates within Sage 200, Sicon Cashflow will show the incorrect exchange rate within the Currency dropdown as it will show the single exchange rate, meaning the value is incorrect. Detailed details on this issue are shown below:

1. Within Sage 200, go to Account System Manager > Settings > Currencies and exchange rates settings.

2. When the Currencies & Exchange Rates screen appears, select the Settings tab and set USD to rate type single.

3. Now, go into the Exchange Rates tab and set 1 £ equals to something recognisable. In this example, I have set this to 50.

4. Now, go to Sicon Cash Flow > Cash Flow Forecast.

5. If you select the Currency dropdown on the right-hand side, you can see the currency that you have set within the Accounting System Manager.

6. However, if you go back to currencies and exchange rates and within the Settings tab set the set USD to period.

7. Go into the Exchange Rates tab and add some period exchange rates.

8. Now, switch back to the Cash Flow Forecast screen and press the Currency drop down again and this will still the period exchange rate when it set to Single.
