Re: Multi Currency in OpenERP

 

Hello guys

many thanks for all your inputs and comments
after reading all your inputs and some Web documentation (Oracle Financials, SAP,...) we came up with the
following synthesis

  1. Today the currency field associated with a journal is not really
     used (nomatter what the currency is
     the generated entries are in the company reference currency)
     The entries should be generated in the journal currency
  2. When making a SO or PO OpenERP should associate the invoice with a
     journal having
     the same currency as the pricelist used in the SO or the PO (today
     you can have an
     invoice in LKR and associated with a USD journal, entries being
     written in EUR)
  3. In the account item table we should have a D/C in the journal
     currency and a D/C in the reference currency
     If the journal currency is the same as the reference currency
     columns should the same, if not the reference
     currency columns should contain a D/C calculated with the exchange
     rate
  4. When paying the invoice the reconciliation process should handle
     the data in the bank/cash journal currency
     and show the equivalent data in invoiced currency only to ease the
     reconciliation process in the case you are
     paying invoices made with a currency different than the bank/cash
     journal currency

We would like to get your comments on that before maybe issuing a blueprint on the subject

Regards

Maurice
This is how it is handled in xtuple (another openspurce erp project)
