Base currency
The base currency belongs to the workspace finance configuration. Use the currency that represents the business’s primary accounting and reporting context. Set this carefully before posting real financial activity. A base currency is not just a visual preference.Transaction currency
Where the document workflow supports it, a Quote or Invoice can use the currency of the commercial transaction. For example, a business whose books are primarily in GHS may still quote a customer in USD. A company with EUR as its base currency may invoice a Middle East customer in another supported currency. The document amount remains the amount in that transaction currency.Reporting conversion
Cross-currency reporting needs a valid exchange rate or defensible stored base amount. Lynka’s reporting logic should not silently invent an FX rate when one is missing. If a historical record cannot be normalized because no valid rate exists, the correct behavior is to surface the missing FX condition rather than fabricate a converted total.Why two users can disagree about a number
Before treating a currency total as wrong, compare:- transaction currency
- workspace base currency
- report period
- FX availability for the relevant date
- whether the metric uses a stored base amount or a current display conversion
- user data scope
