- Active currencies represent countries in which your org does business. Only active currencies can be entered in opportunities, forecasts, and other items. Once you activate a currency, you can never permanently delete it.
- Inactive currencies are currencies that your org no longer uses. You can have existing records that use inactive currencies, but you can’t enter new amounts that use inactive currencies.
To activate new currencies:
- From Setup, enter Manage Currencies in the Quick Find box, then select Manage Currencies.
- Click New in the Active Currencies related list.
- Select a currency. Currencies are alphabetized using their ISO currency code.
- Enter the conversion rate relative to your corporate currency.
- Specify the number of decimal places to display for amounts in this currency.
- Click Save.
To activate a currency from the list of inactive currencies, click Activate next to the currency.
To deactivate a currency, click Deactivate next to the currency. You can’t deactivate the corporate currency. Deactivating a currency does not alter amounts in items that use that currency. However, you can no longer enter new amounts using the inactive currency.
Note Deactivating a currency that is set as a user’s personal currency automatically
resets the user’s currency to the corporate currency.
