Multi-Currency Support

In Projetex 2006 you can assign individual Client Currency to each Client, Expert Currency to each Expert, and still, be able to see ‘the whole picture’ using your Base Currency. This chapter will help you to understand how currencies are handled in Projetex 2006.

First of all, let us give definitions for the terms used in this chapter:

Base Currency is the currency in which your company makes all internal accounting records, i.e. project balance, taxes, salary of your corporate experts, corporate expenses etc. In most cases, it is the currency of your country.

Client Currency is the currency in which you produce invoices for your client and receive payments from your client.

Expert Currency is the currency in which you produce purchase orders and make payments to your freelance experts and vendors.

Example: If your company is in Europe, your client is from USA and your freelance expert is from Japan, it is probable that your Base currency will be Euro, the Client currency will be US Dollar, and Expert currency will be Japanese Yen.

In Projetex 2006 you can easily produce invoices and receive payments from clients and record them in client currencies, and Projetex will automatically make parallel records in the base currency of your company.

You may record issue POs and make payments to your freelance experts in any currency they want, and Projetex will automatically record your POs and payments in experts' currencies.

These parallel records in your Base Currency allow conducting all your internal company accounting in your Base Currency, still keeping the records in other currencies.

To make these parallel records possible, you only have to enter currency rates for the currencies of your clients and freelancers. You may also easily change the currency rates for each recorded client job or for all future jobs.
