Re: Dual or Multi Exchange Rate

 

Hi Joël,

Apology for my further inquiry. However, it seems that the account_voucher in the trunk has been updated with more than the multi currency issue. I'm wondering if the changes pertaining to the multi currency can be isolated from other changes and applied to the 6.0.3 version?

Thank you,
Ivan Wirawan

Dear Ivan,


The work made by camptocamp in collaboration with OpenERP SA has been merged into
the official trunk branch of OpenERP.

You'll find the new account_voucher and with it all the required improvements regarding
your multi-currency problematic.

Regards,

Joël
