An exchange rate set can be selected when the exchange rate provider is 'Custom'.
You can add a new rate set using the Add A New Exchange Rate Set option. You can import the custom exchange rate through the mass updater feature. The mass updater upload file should also include the rate set name.

Provider Exchange Rate Date Offset: If you select Use a custom exchange rate provider in the Exchange Rate Provider field and if you select Daily exchange rate, you can specify a date offset.
Sometimes, exchange rates from your vendor are not available on the same day due to processing delay. Specify the exchange rate date offset. For example, if you set the offset to 2, the exchange rate from 2 days prior will be used when converting currencies. The default value is 0 days.

Click and select the day of month to get the monthly exchange rate.
Use inverse rate: Select yes to use the inverse rates when converting currency amounts. The foreign currency amount is multiplied by the inverse rate to calculate the home currency amount. With an non-inverse rate, the foreign currency amount is divided by the rate to calculate the home currency amount. Typically, inverse rates are used for currency conversions.
