****
If your trading company wants to start a product catalog in a new currency you can handle this several ways:
1) Enter the prices in a new independent pricelist and maintain the lists in the two currencies separately,
2) Create a field in the product form for this new currency and make the new pricelist depend on this field: prices are then maintained separately, but in the product file,
3) Create a new pricelist for the second currency and make it depend on another pricelist or on the product price: the conversion between the currencies will then be done automatically at the prevailing currency conversion rate.

IMHO, here is what works and does not work:
1) is wrong and does work. You cannot register a price in USD in a EURO OpenERP installation.
2) is a hack and may lead to inconsistencies and needs programming.
3) is absolutely right.

So from my point of view, multicurrency support in purchase is NOT supported.
If you have 10.000 products purchased in USD, you are not going to record prices in EUR and then convert to USD.

Title:
  multi-currency purchase order

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  These remarks apply for OpenERP 6.04 at least:

  Purchase orders should allow to choose a currency. 
  Another reaseon is that Supplier invoices allow picking-up a currency.

  Example:
  EUR is default currency.
  OpenERP enabled currencies: USD and EUR.

  Company A makes a purches order in USD to a US supplier.

  Purchase order is sent to the supplier with prices in USD.
  This makes no sense to send a puchase order to a US supplier with prices in Euros.

  A paymenent is made in USD but registered in EUROs.

  i.e. conversion between currencies should only apply when writing an invoice.
  Not when making a purchase order.
