Invoices List

All Prices are displayed in particular Invoice Currency. That means that in each line of Invoice Price and Price with TAX will be shown in currency which is written in Currency column. The Currency column tells which currency Invoice was generated with. Also the exchange rate at the invoice generation moment is saved in the database so it may differ from the up to date exchange rate.
Total Price and Price with TAX are calculated into viewing Currency, which you can choose in upper corner of page. In Total price calculation there are used saved exchange Rate of each Invoice.

Example

Default system Currency is USD
Invoice A is generated on price = 100 in currency EUR with exchange rate 0.5
Invoice B is generated on price = 100 in currency DZD with exchange rate 0.25
Invoice C is generated on price = 100 in currency ALL with exchange rate 0.75

But now exchange rate are different: EUR - 0.75, DZD - 0.5 and ALL - 1.0.

If you want to see Total price(sum of these 3 Invoices) in EUR. For Invoice B and C will be set exchange rate of today, but for invoice A exchange rate will be from that day when invoice was generated (0.5).

Same calculations with other currencies
If you want to see Total price in DZD. For Invoice A and C will be set exchange rate of today, but for invoice B exchange rate will be from that day when invoice was generated (0.25).
If you want to see Total price in ALL. For Invoice A and B will be set exchange rate of today, but for invoice C exchange rate will be from that day when invoice was generated (0.75).

Total price will be 733.3333 USD, or 500 EUR, or 266.6667 DZD, or 700 ALL
