Additional Note
In the above image you will see that Currency has been enabled. This is because this client’s database is in AUD. Given this, everything that is not in AUD needs to have the currency showing.

When you enable Currency under Services, two associated changes appear in the Pricing options for selected seasons;

  1. In the Net and Gross fields the amounts now have NZ in front of the “$” sign
  2. NZD, New Zealand Dollar appears after Pricing options for selected seasons, so that the user can easily identify that this Service is being sold in a different currency
