The purpose of a purchasing list price is to allow:
* trading (buying in USD, selling in EUR),
* building products (buying parts in USD, assembling and selling in EUR).

An example:

If you supplier sells wheels at 50 USD, this is HIS price and you are
not going to register the price in a EURO purchasing price list. The
reason is that this price list will be void the next day because the
USD/EURO rate is evolving everyday.

On the converse, you will register the weel at the price of 50 USD in
your price list.

This price is stable and you can use it for trade AND production.

Therefore, for a European company, the process is:
* Register the purchasing price in USD in a USD pricelist.
* Make a purchase order in USD without conversion.
* Pay and register the invoice in EUR.

I am very surprised that OpenSC claims to allow production based on
price lists and is not able to register USD purchasing prices. IMHO this
is a bug and should acknowledge that.

Closing a bug a pretending that everything works as expected will not
convince large companies to migrate to OpenERP.

Title:
  multi-currency purchase order

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Invalid

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.
