DEFINITION
This qualified generic field specifies:
EXCH |
Exchange Rate |
Exchange rate between the amount and the resulting amount. |
NETWORK VALIDATED RULES
The integer part of Rate must contain at least one digit. A decimal comma ',' is mandatory and is included in the maximum length.
First Currency Code and Second Currency Code must be valid ISO 4217 currency codes.
USAGE RULES
The order of the two currencies specified here is independent of the currencies in the amount and resulting amount fields. Therefore the exchange rate can be expressed as a reciprocal if required.
For the calculation of the rate itself, the First Currency Code will be the base currency and the Second Currency Code will be the quoted currency. (1,00 of First Currency Code = [Rate] of Second Currency Code).
EXAMPLE
The exchange rate between US Dollars and Pounds Sterling can be shown as:
:92B::EXCH//GBP/USD/1,619 (1,00 GBP = 1,619 USD)
or as
:92B::EXCH//USD/GBP/0,618 (1,00 USD = 0,618 GBP)
