Banks, cash and currencies automations

This app runs two scheduled jobs and sets a few things once. It sends no e-mail and has no automation rule. The options are explained in Banks, cash and currencies settings.

Scheduled jobs

Update of the exchange rates

• When: once a day, as long as the scheduled action Update Currency Rates is active; its first run is set at 04:30 server time on the day of installation. A test or restored copy of the database has it switched off.
• What it does: for each company whose Automatic Currency Rate Update is on, it asks the active providers of that company in their order: every daily provider, and the weekly or monthly ones whose Next Run has come. The currencies needed are the active ones with Automatic Update on, plus the company's own; each one is taken from the first provider that publishes it. It writes, for each currency, the latest rate the source publishes, dated as the source dates it, and replaces a rate already recorded for that day. Each provider run adds a line to the log and updates the provider's counts, health and next run. A company whose option is off is skipped.
• How to stop it: for one company, untick Automatic Currency Rate Update in the settings; for one source, switch the provider off in Accounting/Configuration/Currency Rate Providers; for one currency, turn off its Automatic Update. An administrator can also deactivate the scheduled action in the scheduled actions of the technical menu.

Cleaning of the update log

• When: every 7 days, as long as the scheduled action Purge Currency Rate Update Logs is active.
• What it does: deletes the lines of the update log created more than 30 days ago. The rates themselves are kept.
• How to stop it: deactivate the scheduled action in the scheduled actions of the technical menu; the log then keeps every line.

Set once

Providers for every company

When the app is installed, each company that has no provider receives three, all daily: the European Central Bank (first), the Central Bank of the UAE and ExchangeRate-API (open). A company created later receives the same three. Nothing is fetched until the company's automatic update is turned on. Remove or switch off the providers you do not want in Accounting/Configuration/Currency Rate Providers.

Matching of bank transactions

The daily automatic matching of bank transactions belongs to Accounting and is described in Accounting automations. Today it matches nothing; Match payments and invoices says where matching stands.
