# Currencies

<p class="doc-lead">Currencies define symbols and codes for multi-currency trading. The menu appears when multi-currency is enabled in Company Settings. System currencies are maintained here; users typically suspend rather than delete.</p>

<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<p><b>I do not see Currencies in the menu.</b></p>
<p>Enable multi-currency on <a href="#/settings/company-settings">Company Settings</a>.</p>

<p><b>Which currency is used on new transactions?</b></p>
<p>The transaction currency defaults from customer or supplier master, or company base currency when not specified.</p>

<p><b>Can I delete a currency in use?</b></p>
<p>Deletion may be blocked when parties or documents reference the currency. Suspend unused currencies instead.</p>

<p><b>Where do I set exchange rates?</b></p>
<p>Exchange rates are maintained on currency master or transaction date rules per your company setup — not on Company Settings alone.</p>

<p><b>Does multi-currency affect inventory?</b></p>
<p>Inventory valuation typically uses base currency. Sale and purchase documents can post in foreign currency when multi-currency is enabled.</p>
