Use currency table
In the currency table, you specify currencies and payment methods for the Hypersoft Suite. The currency table determines the main currency and the exchange rates for optional secondary currencies.
From the Administration tab, choose the Program group System settings and start the currency tablethere.
Non-cash payments are entered in the first area of the currency table if you do not have any connected payment terminals. With Next and Back you switch to the two views of the payment types for card devices and back again. With connected card devices, these payment methods are used automatically. You can limit the range of payment types offered for payment terminals by activating the multi-payment block for these. Modifying payment methods is then more clearly possible.

| HW | The first entry is the main currency of the holding. It is the currency in which you receive your reports and in which change is given. It is also the currency in which you sell the items. The main currency must be in the first position to use the fixed factor 1.00000. |
| method of payment |
You can enter a name of your choice for the desired payment method. |

When you select the payment category, you determine how the payment is to be posted. The entries from 20 are fixed and are used by the system for connected payment terminals, for example. The respective cards are differentiated and automatically receive the appropriate payment method. On account... This payment type On Invoice groups on evaluations accordingly.

| conversion factor | You use the conversion factor to specify the factor for converting currencies to your main currency. A 1.0 must be entered in the Conversion factor field of the main currency. |
| Print Form |
With the cash desk function Payment type query, a selection of possible forms can appear when you select a payment type, if you use the cash desk function Form query when you call it up. If you want to use a fixed form for a payment type query instead, select this for the corresponding payment types here. |
| Is currency |
Use this to select secondary currencies that you manage next to your main currency. For each of these payment types, the CLOU creates two cash register functions using this name. Example... For the payment type Euro, you receive the function Display in Euro and the function Payment type Euro. You can use the Display in Euro function to convert and display the amount in euros (if this were not your main currency). You use the Euro payment type function in a macro on a close key where the customer pays in euros. A third function is automatically generated in the dialog of the Payment type query function. This payment type is offered here for the partial payment of transactions. |

Activate Roundcurrency if you want to activate rounding to issue change. Further documentation: Interim payments and foreign currencies |
