Contents

Field Description
File Location Click to select the file you wish to use as your import file.
File Name Click to select the file name.
Bill Currency This field displays the bill currency (currency in which the credit card file is received) of the batch type. Use this information to determine which exchange rate to enter in Exchange Rate to (System Base currency).
Exchange Rate to (System Base currency)

If the pay currency of the expense batch type equals the system's base currency, this field displays a default value of 1.0 and is disabled.

If the pay currency is not the same as the base currency, you can override the default value by entering the exchange rate that should be used when you import the expense amount. This is necessary if the expense was incurred, and should therefore be reimbursed, in a currency other than the system's base currency.
