If you defined in the
Chart of
Accounts register that the account is a foreign currency account
or that it is allowed to post to it in foreign and local currency (account type N or
T), you are then offered additional journal entry fields. They are
designated exclusively for recording of amounts in foreign currency. If the account
is a local currency one (account type F), journal entry fields are displayed
yet cannot be modified.

is used in
recalculation from foreign to local currency. In automatic

in posting.
By double-clicking this field you may directly open the exchange rate
