Currency Updater needs to update your currency exchange rates. To update them, an administrator user is required. We don’t store your credentials in any place.

1. Log in to Salesforce with new user credentials.
2. Go to the Currency Updater Setup tab.
3. Click on the “Authorize” button and enter user credentials, if Salesforce asks for them.
4. Go to the “Schedule” tab and click on the “Schedule” button.

In Salesforce, there are two types of currency configurations: Basic Currency and Advance Currency (Dated). The difference between using Basic Currency Exchange Rates and Dated Exchange Rates is that the former has no history associated with it. However, when your org makes changes to a Dated Exchange Rate, the history is preserved for tracking. This is especially helpful when exchange rates fluctuate significantly.
When a change is made to the Basic Exchange Rate, there’s no history logged about the previous rate. This change affects all opportunities, forecasts and other amounts that use the current conversion rate; something which can significantly affect profit projections based on opportunities stored currently in the system. This is more likely to have a major impact on large, multi-national companies than on small businesses.

Now, with Currency Updater Pro is extremely easy to configure and setup: you can schedule the update to run daily, weekly, monthly and at the time of the day you specify.

Usually, this error happens when you have scheduled the update and the system schedules the job for the next day. Please review if you can view the job in Setup > Monitoring > Scheduled Jobs or Setup > Monitoring > Apex Jobs (check that you don’t have a custom view that could be filtering out the jobs).

In some Salesforce Organizations, Salesforce doesn’t allow updating a currency due to external reasons to CUP (Currency Updater PRO). In this case, a Currency Updater Log with KO status will appear for each currency, with the following error “…can’t be updated on SF. Error: …”. This error occurs when Salesforce has to do multiples recalculations in many records with a currency field. When these recalculations are in progress, Salesforce doesn’t allow updating the remaining currencies.

Should this problem arise, we have already implemented a new feature that fixes it. Until all the currencies configured and located in the selected source are updated, CUP will execute the update process every 5 minutes for the number of hours selected on the section “Advanced Setup” of the “Currency Updater Setup” tab, as a maximum (5 hours default). You will see several records of the Currency Updater Log, one for each retry.

When you are getting this error, you need to take into account that the currency update will be delayed for some hours. Please, schedule the update within a sufficient time frame.

When the update is processing, the system gets currencies from the Currency Type object (Basic), which have not been updated on that day. This means that only one update per day will be processed.

1. Go to the Currency Updater Setup tab.
2. Go to the Custom Dated Exchange Rates section.
3. Select the Object Name.
4. Select the Exchange Rate field where you want to save the exchange rate value.
5. Select the Date Field.
