  How to use it:

When entering a transaction, the user must select the appropriate transaction currency from a list of available currencies. This will ensure that all transactions are recorded and reported in the correct currency. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When selecting a transaction currency, it is important to make sure that it matches the local currency of the company. This will ensure that all transactions are recorded and reported accurately. Additionally, it is important to keep track of exchange rates when dealing with multiple currencies, as this can affect the accuracy of financial reports.
