Exchange rates: where the rates come from, then the recorded rates

Record a rate by hand

Press + Record a rate.

Fill in the four boxes:

From: the currency you are converting, for example the US dollar.
To: the currency it is worth, for example the Jordanian dinar. It must differ from From.
Rate: how much one unit of From is worth in To, for example 0.709.
On: the date the rate belongs to.

Press Save. The rate joins Recorded rates with its Pair, Rate, the date (On), who it was Recorded by and its Source: Entered by hand.

If the rate you type is far from the last one for the same pair, the system asks first: This rate is far from the last one. Check the number, then press Save it anyway or correct it. When From and To are the same currency it says A rate goes from one currency to a different one. Choose two.

Choose the Rate source and how often to Fetch: from Every 24 hours down to Every hour. Choosing None — rates are entered by hand switches fetching off.
