Additional currencies which are added in the Back Office can be used as payment methods in POSs; to enable this, you need to add these currencies as separate payment methods in the Payment Service settings of each applicable workstation (see the instructions below).

If needed, you can add a cash breakdown scheme for the main currency. The scheme is then used in POS for Daily Cash Settlements for the currency.
