* For reduction of risk regarding business with foreign currencies, it is normal to add
a mutual buffer at the day rate.
To optimize the above-mentioned cases, the day rate is split into a "buying rate" and "selling rate". At the Settings (of Exchange Rates application) an addition or reduction can be adjusted (Markup). Jump to Import/Download for details.
Examples
For the local currency EUR, a positive mark-up should be selected for the sales rate and a negative mark-up for the purchase rate. For other local currencies, a negative mark-up should be selected for the sales rate and a positive mark-up for the purchase rate due to different exchange rates.
official exchange rate EUR-USD 1.17 and rates with a small addition (1.20) or rather a small reduction (1.10), local currency of forwarder = EUR.
Buying Rate Example:
Invoice in EUR (local currency) with a line about 100 USD (foreign currency)
| Rate on line | Total amount | Result of currency conversion |
| 1.10 | 90.91 | profit |
| 1.17 (official exchange rate) | 85.47 | ~ |

Selling Rate Example:
