Providers & Currency Sources
Enable the provider
Go to General ledger → Currencies → Configure exchange rate providers and select Global Exchange Rates. This is the provider Dynamics 365 F&O calls when you import rates.
Configuration
With the provider selected, open its Configuration to set the following properties:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| API Key | (required) The key from your Enterprise subscription on the Developer API Portal. Without it the import stops with an error. |
| Data set | The default central bank (Provider) rates are downloaded from for any currency that has no specific source assigned. |
| Decimal places | Number of decimals rates are rounded to (1–10, default 5). |
| Use latest available rate | On non-publishing days (weekends, holidays) download the most recent available rate instead of skipping the date. |
| Use currency-level source | Enables the per-currency mapping below, so each currency can be sourced from its own central bank. |
Per-currency source mapping
Different central banks publish rates for different currencies, and the GLOBAL provider is a blend of many banks rather than a single official source. If you need to download in a single legal entity exchange rates from multiple centeral banks, Global Exchange Rates lets you pin every currency to the specific central bank that should provide it.
Open the Global Exchange Rates – currency providers page and, for each currency, choose the central bank to source it from. For example:
- USD ← Federal Reserve
- GBP ← Bank of England
- ZAR ← South African Reserve Bank
When you import, the app fetches each currency from its pinned bank:
- If the bank publishes against your accounting currency, the rate is used directly.
- If the bank publishes against the pinned currency itself, the app uses the reciprocal.
All rates are rounded to the number of decimals configured for the currency. Because official banks publish against their own base currency, a cross-currency result may slightly differ by a rounding unit from a direct quote.
Currencies you do not pin fall back to the provider selected at import time
