Work with companies (ASGD00101)

If you reached this panel from the Create a new company menu item, you could either select an existing company code for which you want to generate, or copy, files. If you want to create and generate/copy files for a new company click Add.

You can only maintain the company data for the company you are logged onto, unless you are defined as an “DC1 Administrator”. If you are an DC1 Administrator and maintain another company, the changes on the ASGD00111 panel ( e-mail address, etc) that normally also updates the Country table for the defined System country of the company, will not update the Country table for the selected company. You should instead log on to the company for which you want to make the changes.

Enter the code for the system country. Do not forget to enter the country in Work with countries, if this has not already been done. This information defines all suppliers that do not have this country code as being foreign suppliers.

System language

Enter the code for the system language. The language code must be defined in Work with languages.

System currency

Enter the code for the system currency. The currency must be defined in Work with currencies.

Base currency

Enter the code for the base currency. The currency must be defined in Work with currencies.

The base currency is used when calculating amounts from the transaction currency to the system currency (triangulation). The system will first calculate the amount into the base currency. Then the amount is calculated from the base currency amount into the system amount.

The base currency is also used when calculating from the transaction currency to primary currency and when calculating from transaction currency to VAT reporting currency.

Note: When calculating amounts into the Reporting currency (displayed in Reporting currency on this panel), the system will first calculate the amount into system currency, and then from system currency into reporting currency.

Note: If you do not need to do any reporting to the authorities in an EU country, i.e. that the country will not join the European Monetary Union, you can enter the same currency in this field as in System currency on this panel. This also apply if the system currency already has been converted to EURO.

Note: The base currency must not be changed without running the Change base currency and/or reverse exchange rate menu item.

Reporting currency

This field must be completed if you want to activate the RCU application on the following panel.

Enter the code for the reporting currency. The currency must be defined in Work with currencies.

The reporting currency can be used as an alternative system currency. On several panels and printouts, you can select to view the amounts in the reporting currency.

It can be useful with a reporting currency if you, e.g., need to do your internal reporting in another currency than the system currency, or if you want to keep information in the system currency when you have converted into EURO.

Note: The reporting currency must not be changed without running the Calculate reporting currency from system currency menu item.

Reversed rate

Indicate if you want to activate the reversed rate function in the system.

The reversed rate dictates the format in which you will enter the exchange rates in the Exchange rate table.

Example 1:

Code	Value
Reversed rate	NO
Base currency	SEK
Transaction currency	GBP
Exchange rate	11,55, meaning that 1 GBP is 11,55 SEK. An amount of 100 GBP will then be calculated as: 100 * 11,55 = 1155 SEK

Example 2:

Code	Value
Reversed rate	YES
Base currency	SEK
Transaction currency	GBP
Exchange rate	0,08658008 meaning that 0,08658008 GBP is 1 SEK. An amount of 100 GBP will then be calculated as: 100 / 0,08658008 = 1155 SEK

Note: The base currency must not be changed without running the Change base currency and/or reverse exchange rate menu item.
