Hello, when Baccs was rebranded and changed to Trados Business Manager, Eugene and someone from Trados on this forum told me I would still receive the lifetime support for the product, which I paid for when I bought Baccs, and which was wonderful when I still received it. RWS is responsible for fulfilling the obligations to Baccs customers it acquired when it bought the product. I would like an answer to my question from someone at RWS, please.

Hi, Eric,

As I understand, this is Community forum, there noone has any obligations. But yes, I try to support TBM as much as can here.

Just downloaded and installed BaccS 5. Entered 2 currency rates, for different dates. Created a new job, some currency rate applied. Then I changed date of a job, and another currency rate was automatically picked up.

For expenses, it's indeed different. Date change doesn't help. Currency rate was re-applied only when I changed amount. Unfortunately this can't be fixed.

If you already have a job, and after that added new currency rate, it won't be automatically applied to any existing job. But in the application settings there is a button called Recalculate amounts in base currency, which does the job - takes all documents and applies most fresh currency rates from the reference data on the date of a document.

You're right, it's not an obligation, thanks so much as always Eugene.

That was very helpful, thanks. I realized that part of the problem was that I cloned a job and it brought over the previous, old exchange rate to the new job. I also changed the settings (I hope) to download exchange rates every time I open the program.

Interesting about cloning. When you clone, date changes, and upon date changing the app should look over a new currency rate. Next time, even after clone, please try to change date manually, and then get back to today's date - will it trigger currency rate refresh?

I hope it will works, because currency rate sources change from time to time, and it was required to make corresponding changes in the app code to keep them working.

Changing the date and then changing it back does work! It makes the currency rate refresh. That's an easy solution, thanks!

And it doesn't seem to be downloading currency rates automatically, but that's not really a problem, I can do it manually.

Thanks again!
