What are the important things I need to know before activating multi-currency?

Before you activate the multi-currency feature, keep these points in mind:

  • Multi-currency feature is available only in the Enterprise Edition and above.
  • Only users with the Administrator profile can activate this feature and add currencies.
  • Once activated, the multi-currency feature cannot be deactivated.
  • After activation, you won't be able to view the Currency Locale field when you look for it under Setup > Company Details > Locale Information.
  • The Administrator can add up to 10 active currencies in the CRM account at a time.
  • A record's currency, once set, cannot be modified.
  • You cannot mass update the currency (i.e. Currency field) for the records. 
  • Multi-currency is not supported in the Forecasts module. Forecasting can be done only in the Home Currency.
