LUFI-20301 Currency Files Loading
LU Introduction
When a new mission is opened, a list of standard currencies is loaded at HQ level with current FX rates and then synchronized as inactive to the field. For specific use in the field, a non-standard currency can be created manually by HQ and synchronized to the field as inactive, too.
See LUFI-20204 Manual currency creation for further information.
How to Load Standard Currencies in an Instance
As MSF expects the same exchange rates to be used across all missions, currency creation should only take place in the Headquarter instance as it is then synchronized downwards to all missions.
