Currencies revisited

An addition to the earlier post.

Annapurna does not explicitly support currencies. It simply raises an invoice for a value and that value is interpreted to be appropriate currency for the customer by the financial system.

Annapurna does stop prices from being applied with the wrong currency so a dollar price list is not used for a Euro customer.

If multiple currencies are used then the local currency is assumed to be the default currency and only records that are not the default currency are changed.

Firstly in the customer record, you set the currency code to a field eg USD for dollar or EUR for Euro. The code does not matter but it helps to use a recognised code.

When you create a pricelist, there is a field for currency. Put the currency code in this field.

Annapurna will now check to see that the pricelist being considered is the same currency as the customer.

Packages also have a field for currency code so that a package in one currency is not applied to a different customer.
