In international markets, organizations are required to monitor the various currencies used and the different exchange rates. The system contains many predefined currencies. Define additional currencies as necessary.
Various parts of the system rely upon currency for computing transactions. Therefore,
even if you do not intend to use the system to calculate currencies for international
markets, you must at least enter a base currency and attach an exchange rate of "1"
to it.
