DEFINITION

This qualified generic field specifies:

EXCH

Exchange Rate

Exchange rate between the amount and the resulting amount.

NETWORK VALIDATED RULES

First Currency Code and Second Currency Code must be valid ISO 4217 currency codes (Error code(s): T52).

USAGE RULES

The order of the two currencies specified here is independent of the currencies in the amount and resulting amount fields. Therefore the exchange rate can be expressed as a reciprocal if required.

For the calculation of the rate itself, the First Currency Code will be the base currency and the Second Currency Code will be the quoted currency. (1,00 of First Currency Code = [Rate] of Second Currency Code).
