Exchange rate import processor is a tool that imports exchange rates from the source and according to the rules predefined for a certain 1C:Drive version. This tool is represented by a data processor file. Request this file from the 1C International partner that provided you with the 1C:Drive distribution package. When you receive the file, add it to the Additional reports and data processors list.
