Currency
Agency currency - the base currency in which Agency accepts money and issues invoices. This currency is used to display prices on the pages of order information, payment method selection and payment method pages.
Agency currency is set by the Currency option in Account management → Agents and users → Company profiles. Agency currency is available for subagents to set.
By default, subagents have one currency available - the current currency of the root agency. To change the list of available currencies for a subagency, the agency manager needs to add them to the Allowed currencies for subagency selection options on the currency settings page System Settings → Currencies and Rates → Currency Settings.
The manager of the main agency can set himself/herself and/or a sub-agency any currency, he/she is not affected by the restrictions of the option Permissible currencies for sub-agency to choose.
The Allowed currencies for subagency selection can be set both for all subagencies by selecting the root agency as the target of the settings, and for each subagency individually.
Attention! The Websky system does not provide auto-synchronization with currency exchange rates in the GDS.

Guide of currencies and exchange rates
Exchange rate and currency guide is designed to edit and store exchange rate information needed to convert currencies from one to another. If the directory does not contain a currency rate for the current (or specified) date, the most recently entered rate for the currency is taken. In case there are no rates entered for this currency, the rate specified globally for the whole system is taken. Directory of currencies and rates can be found in System settings → Currencies and rates.
Agency manager can change the rates set in this table (column Value) provided that the rates are not downloaded from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. After making changes to the rates values and saving them by pressing the 'Change button, the last column in the table becomes active: Extended.
Clicking on the cross in the column will undo the changes made by the user (but not delete the row). The system will give a warning message: Do you confirm deletion?. Agreeing to the deletion will return the course values to the value before the changes were made.
Attention! A change in exchange rates does not affect the service fee.
Attention! The price of paid orders is not affected by the exchange rate change.

Agency sales currency
In Websky, it is possible to get the price of the flight from GDS in the currency set in the settings section Account management → Agents and users → Company profiles. Conversion, in this case, is carried out on the GDS side at the current exchange rate of GDS. This functionality will allow you to avoid changes in the process of converting the price of the order, if the search / booking / ticeting is carried out in the requisites for the connection to the GDS, for which different values of the currency are set. This setting also avoids situations such as a mismatch in price between the GDS and Websky during conversion when the currency of the GDS connection requisites is different from the currency set in the user settings in Nemo Connect, which in turn is reflected in the price difference between the terminal and the company's website.
The functionality is available for GDS Galileo uAPI, Sabre and Amadeus.
You can activate this functionality in Product control → Aviatickets → Pricing → Settingsv by enabling the Request price in agency sales currency setting. The scope of this setting is the entire agency.
Attention! For the above setting to work, it is necessary that in Websky, in the settings section For technical support → Nemo Connect web services → Interaction settings the setting "Use settings from Nemo 1 for" must be set to "Air Server".
Since this section of the settings is available only to administrators of the Websky system, you must create an application to enable the specified setting in the helpdesk.nemo.travel project tracker.
If the setting Request price in agency sales currency is enabled, both the currency value specified for GDS connection requisites in Nemo Connect and the currency value specified on the GDS side for a specific PCC will be ignored when sending search, update and repricing requests to GDS.
Attention! The setting applies to all the requisite packages created for the agency for the connection to the GDS.
While performing Booking and subsequent operations with the order, the currency of the connection requisites to the GDS and the currency specified in the air packages in Nemo Connect are used to calculate the price on the side of the GDS. If the setting Request price in agency sales currency is enabled, an additional billing request is sent to GDS to get the price of the flight in the agency currency specified in the settings section Account management → Agents and users → Company profiles. It's important to keep in mind that this setting does not cause any changes in the PNR itself, but the booking will display the price in the agency currency.
The price received from the GDS in the agency currency will be displayed on the order page and in the documents (itinerary receipts).
Attention! For GRS that do not support price transfer in the desired currency, currency conversion will be done on the side . As the currency conversion rate in the GRS may differ from the rate set for the agency in , if you enable the 'Request a price in the agency's selling currency, the agency (the customer) is responsible for the possible risks of a price difference due to the mismatch of rates.
