Currency Settings

These are settings for the invoice currency.

Depending on your selections, different settings are displayed. If a field is displayed in certain circumstances, that information is listed below.

Any changes made to these settings are applied to new documents only. Documents that are already in-progress use the settings that were in-place when their processing began.

The following settings are available:

Activate Extended Validation

When selected, extended validation is performed on the extracted currency result.

The extended validation compares Kofax AP Agility-extracted currency to the following, in the order specified.

  1. Permitted global currencies. See the Global Currencies setting below.

  2. The vendor currency if present in the vendor extract.

  3. The currency associated with the vendor country of origin.

  4. The currency of the company code.

  5. The currency associated with the company code country.

If the invoice currency does not match any of the above, then the currency is set to invalid and must be corrected in the Validation activity. Errors caused by missing, incomplete or incorrect configuration in connection to company code and country lookups also set the currency field to invalid.

User input in the Validation activity is excluded from the above checks and are assumed to be correct.

Always.
