Hello Bushair,

Currency rate is used to convert the used currency into company currency.

For example:
suppose company currency is in $ and you have created invoice in rupees .
How much rupees is equivalent to how much $ ?
1$ = 50 Rs(Indian Currency,Which is flexible in day to day)
So the rate is :50 for converting dollar amount into Indian rupees.

And rounding factor is used for rounding purpose,by default it 0.01 that 1/100 means 2 digits.
Hope This will help you.

Thanks.
