         <ListIntro>This chapter describes the conversion rules, or conversion
		  functions that are used to convert these types of fields during currency
		  initialization:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Currency fields</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Amount fields</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Rate fields</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Rate factor fields</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Rate determiner fields</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>The currency system to which you convert determines the way in
		which the data is registered after the conversion. After currency
		initialization the registered data must be consistent in all its internal
		relations. Therefore, the method of data conversion depends on the currency
		system to which you convert.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Currency initialization does not affect data that need not be
		converted. Therefore, ERP Enterprise also determines whether data conversion is necessary when
		you change your home currencies.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For example, if reporting currency 1 before the conversion is
		reporting currency 2 after the conversion, the amounts and currency rates in
		reporting currency 1 are copied to the positions of the reporting currency 2 in
		the database. There is no need to recalculate the amounts or the rates.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For fields that cannot be converted by one of the standard CRI
		conversion rules, additional DLLs deal with the specific CRI requirements.</Paragraph>
