Multicurrency: Enable Multicurrency

After you verify that the organization currency is correct, a system administrator must enable Multicurrency. When you enable Multicurrency, you select whether to use the base amount or transaction amount to calculate the organization amount. For information about the different types of currencies, refer to Multicurrency: Currency Types.

Note: You must have the Multicurrency product flag unlocked before you can enable Multicurrency in the program. For information, contact Support at BEsupport@blackbaud.com.

When you enable Multicurrency, the program creates a default currency set for your organization. A currency set is a group of currencies that users work with on a daily basis. Each set includes a base currency and one or more transaction currencies.

Warning: After you enable Multicurrency, you cannot edit the currency type (either base or transaction) used to calculate the organization currency amount.
