Live exchange rate lookups

Open Exchange Rates supplies current exchange rates for a wide list of currencies. A Beam agent reads a request for a rate, fetches the latest figure, and applies your rule to update the price, invoice, or record that depends on it. When a rate has moved sharply since the last check or a currency is missing from the feed, the agent holds the update and notifies a person rather than acting on a questionable number. Someone decides how to handle a volatile rate or a gap in the data, while the agent keeps routine figures current across your records.

Currency conversion

Open Exchange Rates converts amounts between currencies using its published rates. A Beam agent reads an amount in one currency, applies your rule to convert it at the current or a fixed rate, and writes the result into the invoice, report, or order that needs it. When a conversion would change a total beyond your set threshold or relies on a stale rate, the agent flags it for a person before the figure is used. People own the call on which rate applies to sensitive totals, while the agent handles the routine conversions and keeps each amount traceable to its source rate.

Historical rate reporting

Open Exchange Rates keeps historical rates for past dates and periods. A Beam agent reads a reporting request, gathers the rates for the dates your rule names, and writes them into the report or reconciliation that needs a consistent basis. When a requested date falls outside the available range or a rate looks inconsistent with nearby days, the agent pauses and asks a person to confirm the source. Someone decides which basis a report should use for closed periods, while the agent assembles the routine figures and keeps each report tied to the rates it drew on.
