Currency exchange rates vary from time to time and NEOSYS allows us to keep track of these variations with a date reference. We can add lines to this option and enter the date along with the exchange rate. The schedule would only pull up the exchange rate with the latest date.

Note:- No two currencies can have the exchange rate as 1. There is a lock in the system that restricts users to put 1 for any other currency except base currency.

Codes are short abbreviations given to records under various files in the NEOSYS database. Codes are easier to remember and information pertaining to a particular record can be pulled up by entering its code. It cannot be more than 8 alphanumeric characters.

NEOSYS advises users to use the 4 letter coding system in order to ease the complex task of assigning different codes to various records. See Codes in NEOSYS.

Note:- No two currencies can have the exchange rate as 1. There is a lock in the system that restricts users to put 1 for any other currency except base currency.
