BUY- usually associated with RECEIVABLES module in the company.The customer is buying merchandise from you and you are converting to the proper exchange rate when the bank buys the currency from you and gives you the functional back. Because a company must sell the other currencies received from customers to this bank at the bank's Buy rate, that rate is used for sales transactions.
