# Rules for Importing Multiple Currencies

If your organization has set up the ability to use multiple currencies, you can import amounts in different currencies.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Group</strong>, <strong>Essentials</strong>, <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Organization Import

When importing accounts, contacts, custom objects, leads, or solutions for your organization, you can specify the currency type for amount fields using the Currency ISO Code column in your import file.

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small ">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:25.773195876288664%">
          <col style="width:74.22680412371135%">
        </colgroup>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Entering currency codes</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Enter a currency code in the <samp class="parmname">Currency ISO
                Code</samp> column in your import file. Currency codes are
              three letter codes that follow an international standard. For
              example, USD is the currency code for U.S. dollars. From Setup,
              enter <kbd>Manage Currencies</kbd> in the
              <samp class="parmname">Quick Find</samp> box, then select
              <strong class="uicontrol">Manage Currencies</strong> to see a list of valid
              codes for your organization.
            </td>

          </tr>
          <tr class="">
            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Updating the currency code</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">When updating the currency code but not the currency amount for
              accounts and contacts, the amount isn’t converted to the
              corresponding number in the new currency.</td>

          </tr>
          <tr class="">
            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Entering inactive currencies</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">If you enter an inactive currency in your import file, your
              personal currency is used instead. However, amounts aren’t modified.
              For example, if your file has AUD 100 for 100 Australian dollars but
              AUD is an inactive currency for your organization, it’s imported as
              USD 100, assuming your personal currency is U.S. dollars.</td>

          </tr>
          <tr class="">
            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Omitting the Currency ISO Code column</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">
              <p>When creating records via importing, if you don’t use the
                <samp class="parmname">Currency ISO Code</samp> column or fail to map it,
                your personal currency is used. For example, if your file has 100
                and your personal currency is U.S. dollars (currency code = USD),
                it’s imported as USD 100.
              </p>
              <p style="margin-bottom:0;">When updating existing records via
                importing, if you don’t use the <samp class="parmname">Currency ISO
                  Code</samp> column or fail to map it, any amounts are
                interpreted as having the currency of the record. For example,
                if your file has 100 for a record that has a currency of EUR
                (the currency code for euros), this amount is interpreted as EUR
                100.</p>
            </td>
