Currency Boxes

An MYOB Advanced currency box is a special type of lookup box. It has a selector button (to bring up the currency lookup table) and two additional controls to give you advanced functionality, as shown in the screenshot below.

Using Currency Toggle Button

For the documents with amounts in foreign currency, the Currency Toggle button switches the currency of the amounts between the base currency and the selected foreign currency. The label on the Currency Toggle button depends on the currently selected currency of the amount:

  • View Base: The amount is displayed in the foreign currency; click the button to view the amount in the base currency.
  • View Cury: The amount is displayed in the base currency; click the button to view the amount in the foreign currency.

The Currency Toggle button does not affect the documents with amounts in the base currency only.
