Once you have had additional currencies enabled in your instance, these will need to be updated on a regular intervals to adjust for the exchange rates at the time of processing billing.
If you do not enter an exchange rate for a period CAKE will default to a 1:1 exchange rate across all currencies during that period.
It is possible to correct this afterwards but aside from the confusion caused any bills generated including values during these exchange rates will need to be deleted and regenerated.
