      <Paragraph>Normally when you generate a payment advice or a direct debit
		advice for open invoices, the payment advice currency or the direct debit
		advice currency is the invoice currency. If the payment method does not allow
		the use of foreign currencies, the payment method currency of the invoice
		payment method must be the same as the advice currency. External euro
		translation allows you to replace the invoice payment method with a
		euro-related payment method, in order to handle open invoices in EMU currencies
		in euros.</Paragraph>

		  handles EMU currencies. For example, you can copy such a method and set the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Payment Method Currency</GUIRef> to <GUIRef href="" role="manual">euro</GUIRef>. You can also
		  use a different type of report or bank file if this is required for reports in
		  euros.</ListItem>
