Usage

The module supports multi-company currency in two ways:

1. when currencies are shared, you can set currency update only on one company
2. when currencies are separated, you can set currency on every company separately

A function field lets you know your currency configuration.

If in multi-company mode, the base currency will be the first company's currency found in database.
