Use the drop-down list to select the method of payment withdrawn from the cash register. Since this is usually a cash payment in the local currency, this option is selected by default. The exchange rate shown is the exchange rate from the currency to the euro. The system calculates the amount of currency to be withdrawn from the cash register automatically. |

Enter the commission fee. Use the first box to enter the rate in percent. The second box then automatically shows the amount calculated. You can also enter a fixed amount as the exchange fee or define default commission values in the system data.
