You can manage static exchange rates between your active and inactive currencies and the
corporate currency by editing the conversion rates. These exchange rates apply to all currency
fields used in your organization. In addition to these conversion rates, some organizations use
dated exchange rates for opportunities and opportunity products.

Customize Application
Search Setup for Manage Currencies.
If you use advanced currency management, click Manage Currencies.
In the Active Currencies or Inactive Currencies list, click Edit
Rates.
Enter the conversion rate between each currency and your corporate currency.
Click Save.
When you change the conversion rates, currency amounts are updated using the new rates.
Previous conversion rates are not stored. All conversions within opportunities, forecasts, and
other amounts use the current conversion rate.
If your organization uses advanced currency management, you can also manage dated exchange
rates for currency fields on opportunities and opportunity products.
Note
You cannot track revenue gain or loss based on currency fluctuations.
Changing conversion rates causes a mass recalculation of roll-up summary fields. This
recalculation can take up to 30 minutes, depending on the number of records affected.
You can also change a conversion rate via the API. However, if another roll-up summary
recalculation for the same currency field is in progress, the age of that job affects the
recalculation job that you triggered. Here’s what happens when you request a currency rate
change via the API, and a related job is in progress.
If the other recalculation for the same currency field was kicked off less than 24 hours
ago, your currency rate change isn’t saved. You can try again later or instead change the
currency rate from Manage Currencies in Setup. Initiating the change from Setup stops the old
job and triggers your recalculation to run.
If the other recalculation job was kicked off more than 24 hours ago, you can save your
currency rate change and your job starts.
To check the status of your recalculation job, see the Background Jobs page in Setup.
