The CurrencyID is determined based on the Supplier.
 
Prices for Products on a Purchase Order are expressed in that Currency.
 
The initial Currency Rate on a Purchase Order is determined from the Currency Rate table. The Currency Rate for a Foreign Currency may be changed as required.
 
The Currency Rate on a Purchase Order can be “locked in” or allowed to “float”.
 
The Currency Rate on a Purchase Order is “locked in” and flows through to the subsequent Purchase Invoices (via Purchase Order Receipts) when the checkbox beside the Currency Rate is Checked.
 
The Currency Rate on a Purchase Order will “float” and the Purchase Invoices will use the applicable Currency Rate based on the Purchase Invoice Date when the checkbox beside the Currency Rate is Unchecked.
 
When the initial default Price for a Product originates from the Product Supplier Price table for this Supplier, that Price is already in the Currency for that Supplier and is used directly.
 
When the initial default Price for a Product originates from the Product Supplier Price table for some other Supplier (because it doesn’t exist for this Supplier), that Price is converted to Foreign Currency as applicable using the current Currency Rate specified on that Purchase Order.
