Exchange rates

The Exchange Rates for (GOC) Good Office Committee Pricing program is used to maintain exchange rate by effective date rather than effective period. This is initially used to generate selling price records by using this exchange rate to convert an existing price record into another price record with the relevant currency code.

As an example, generate selling price in Rupee using the existing list price in US dollar.

The Direct Re-Pricing program re-prices directly to another price code.  New price records are generated or existing ones are amended based on the change in either exchange rate or price of source record.
