Set Regional Format and Currency Codes

In Destiny, you can view dates, numbers and currencies in many formats. You can also choose your country's regional format and currency, which appear in the calendar and a copy's price.

To access regional formats:

1. Log in as a Destiny Administrator.
2. Select Setup > Sites.
3. Next to the district, click.
4. From the Region Format drop-down, select your desired language and country.

The system stores copy price information in several currency formats. When the currency code for the copy price does not match the district's regional format setting, a three-letter currency code appears in the price field (for example, USD15.00, CAD15.00, MXN15.00).
You can also convert pricing information on existing library copy records from one currency to another. The system updates the price value based on an exchange rate you enter. This lets you update foreign currency codes to your local code.

To convert currency codes:

1. Log in as a Destiny Administrator.
2. Select Setup > District Options.
3. Next to Convert Currency Codes, click Edit. The Change Currency Codes page appears.
   
4. From the When Currency Code drop-down, select the currency you want to change from.
5. From the Make Currency Code drop-down, select the currency you want to use.
   
6. Enter a numerical amount in the Exchange Rate field.

   Note: Set the Exchange Rate value to 1 if you do not want to change the price of your copies.

7. Click Preview.
   
8. Once the job is completed, click View.
9. Review the summary of the converted currency values, and then click Convert.
10. When the job is complete, click View.
