Configuring the Triangulation Currency

You can configure the triangulation currency, which is the reference currency used to calculate exchange rates between different currencies. Triangulation is a strategy by which exchange rates between different currencies can be calculated using a reference currency. For example, dollars can be used as the reference currency to calculate a conversion rate from pounds to yen.

In addition to specifying a currency unit here, the currency conversion rates from this currency to other currencies must be defined. See the Collaboration and Approvals User's Guide: Managing Currency Exchange Rates.
