The configuration option – Export Base currency symbol along with amount facilitates the export of the currency symbol along with the amount.
Here is the path to the configuration:
Press Alt+E (Export) > Configuration and press Enter > Export base currency along with amount.
This configuration can be useful in a scenario where there is an exchange of data between one Company with a currency and another with a different currency. For example, you Company is National Enterprise with base currency as Rupee and the other Company is The Bounderby Manufacturing Company with the base currency as Dollar. Now, when you want to export entries from National Enterprise to The Bounderby Manufacturing Company, the latter should have Rupee as one of the currencies while importing the data.
The impact of the configuration is as follows.
Configuration - Export base currency along with amount set to Yes
Impact - The Rupee symbol gets exported along with the amount. When you import the data in The Bounderby Manufacturing Company, the voucher will have the amount in Rupee.
Configuration - Export base currency along with amount set to No
Impact - The Rupee symbol does not get exported along with the amount. When you import the data in The Bounderby Manufacturing Company, the voucher will have the amount in Dollar, which is its base currency.
