In cases where the Purchase module is activated and the Purchase Order currency differs from the system’s base currency, the system will, by default, automatically convert the currency of the Inventory Receiving Voucher to the base currency.
However, if you wish to retain the original Purchase Order currency in the Inventory Receiving Voucher, you may enable the “Do not convert to Base currency” option.
The same behavior applies when creating Delivery Return – Purchasing Goods from:
-
Inventory Receiving Vouchers, and
-
Purchase Return Orders.
How to Retain the Original Currency
Step 1: Enable the Currency Setting
-
Go to the Inventory module.
-
Select Settings.
-
Open General Settings, then select the Receiving & Delivery tab.
-
Enable the checkbox “Do not convert to Base currency.”
Step 2: Create a Purchase Order
-
Create a Purchase Order using a currency other than the base currency.
(Example: Base currency = USD)
Step 3: Create an Inventory Receiving Voucher
-
Go to Inventory → Inventory Receiving Voucher.
-
Click the Delivery Docket button.
-
In the Inventory Receiving Voucher form:
-
Select the Purchase Order created in Step 5 from the Choose from a Purchase Order dropdown.
-
Complete the remaining required fields.
-
Click Save and Approve the Inventory Receiving Voucher.
-
The Inventory Receiving Voucher will retain the same currency as the Purchase Order.
Additional Scenarios
-
When creating a Delivery Return – Purchasing Goods from an Inventory Receiving Voucher, the currency will remain the same as the Inventory Receiving Voucher.
-
When creating a Delivery Return – Purchasing Goods from a Purchase Return Order, the currency will remain the same as the Purchase Return Order.
Important Note
All monetary amounts will be automatically converted to the base currency when displayed in the Stock Summary Report, regardless of the transaction currency.
