Currency Settings

These are settings for the invoice currency.

Depending on your selections, different settings are displayed. If a field is displayed in certain circumstances, that information is listed below.

Important Any changes made to these settings are applied to new documents only. Documents that are already in-progress use the settings that were in-place when their processing began.

The following settings are available.

Dollar Sign Is USD

If this field is enabled, no currency is identified on the invoice, but a $ sign is found in the OCR text, the currency is set to USD.

This setting is cleared by default.

Default PO Currency

If selected and no currency is identified on the invoice, the system uses the same currency as the purchase order.

This setting is selected by default.

Default Vendor Currency

If selected and no currency is identified on the invoice, the system uses the same currency as the vendor country of origin.

This setting is selected by default.

Note The Default Vendor Currency value overrides the Default PO Currency when both settings are selected.
Validate From SAP

If enabled, the currency field is validated against SAP during the Validation Activity. You cannot select this field and Validate From DB at the same time.

Validate From DB

If enabled, the currency field is validated against a database during the Validation Activity. You cannot select this field and Validate From SAP at the same time.

Database Connection Name

Select the database connection name that specifies the currency database connection string, from the list.

DB Schema

DB Table Name

Select the name of the database table that is used to validate the currency, from the list. The list is populated based on the selected Database Connection Name and if used, the specified schema. If the selected table has columns that match the settings below, they are populated automatically.

This setting is mandatory for database lookups.

DB Column Name

If a value for this field is not populated automatically, select the name of the column in the database table that contains the valid currency code, from the list.

This setting is mandatory for database lookups.

Activate Extended Validation

When selected, extended validation is performed on the extracted currency result.

The extended validation compares the system-extracted currency to the following, in the order specified.

  1. Permitted global currencies. See the Global Currencies setting below.

  2. The vendor currency if present in the vendor extract.

  3. The currency associated with the vendor country of origin.

  4. The currency of the company code.

  5. The currency associated with the company code country.

If the invoice currency does not match any of the above, then the currency is set to invalid and must be corrected in the Validation Activity. Errors caused by missing, incomplete or incorrect configuration in connection to company code and country lookups also set the currency field to invalid.

User input in the Validation Activity is excluded from the above checks and are assumed to be correct.
