Currency Message
Currency messages define the currencies available to the Ledger. Abivia Ledger only manages the
availability of currencies and the number of digits to retain after the decimal point. No currency
conversion or formatting of values is performed.
Business Rules
- Currency codes must be unique.
- Currency codes are mapped to uppercase.
- The number of decimal places to maintain for a Currency can be increased but only decreased if
there are no Journal Entries or Accounts using it.
- A Currency can only be deleted when there are no Accounts or Journal Entries using that Currency.
