QuoteWerks will display the base currencies cost, price, and list, and then the alternate cost, alternate price, and alternate list columns in the Document Items tab.
The prices in the alternate currency columns are automatically calculated by QuoteWerks using an exchange rate value obtained from the Exchange Rate list maintained by selecting the Utilities -> Exchange Rate Maintenance... menu. This is useful when presenting quotes to other countries in their native currency.
To print a quote that includes the alternate currencies, modify a print layout, and insert the fields AlternateUnitPrice, AlternateExtendedPrice, etc. from the DocumentItems table. There are also AlternateSubTotal, AlternateGrandTotal fields, etc. in the DocumentHeaders table.
