When you add an item to an expense report, the conversion rate defaults from the system rate. Depending on configuration, you may be able to edit this rate if your country recently joined the European Monetary Union (EMU), and the EMU has not yet defined a fixed conversion rate for your country's currency. Contact your Ariba Buyer system administrator for more information.

After the EMU sets a fixed conversion rate for your country's currency, you cannot edit the conversion rate used for expense items.

You cannot edit the conversion rate if the "from" and "to" currencies are the same, or if both are EMU currencies.
