Let’s Dive Into Exchange Rate Import Tool First
You can go from manual to automated with the Exchange Rate Import tool.
Exchange rates can be imported automatically from 4 sources. You get to pick.
Those 4 sources include:
- European Central Bank
- Bank of Canada
- MoneyCorp (Formerly Commonwealth Bank)
- Open Exchange Rate (most popular)
Fast and easy set-up & configuration
- Start configuration
- Pick your exchange rate source
- Select a default currency
- Schedule your updates

If you are using the multi-currency module in Dynamics GP this is the tool for you.
There is no limit to the number of currencies, and you can schedule updates as often as you like.
Many customers will schedule it daily, first thing in the morning, Monday-Friday. It will use the Windows Task Scheduler to run that for you.
Now that you know how you can automate exchange rates let’s take it a step further. How about being able to group, summarize, & filter your exchange rate data on the fly?
This is where Popdock from eOne Solutions comes into play.
