Hello Amit,

Thank you for confirming officially that the product price is the company default currency.
 
As there is only one default currency for each company, this means that you can only create purchasing list in ONE SINGLE currency, which is the currency of the company.

Let's take an example :

You are a Bristish company with default currency GBP (UK pounds)
designing tablets. You buy components from all the world and assemble
them : screen in USD, memory in Yen, Keyboard in USD, battery in EURO.
What you mean is that we have to register all these prices in GBP? This
is nonsense, as the price in all these currencies is stable. Registering
purchaing prices in a GBP pricelist is nonsense.

 We need to be able to make purchases order in the currency of the
suppliers, i.e. USD for keyboards, EUROs for batteries, etc ... It is
only when you register the real cost that you create an invoice and this
invoice should be registered in GBP.

This is the normal accounting practice and you should be aware of that. 
So please do not prentend that you need more information and the bug is unclear, just register the bug and people will work on it.

If you try to hide reality from the Free-Software public of users and
designers, OpenERP might loose all confidence.

For your information, when I discussed with an OpenERP certified vendor
at J2ML, he was so anxious that he nearly cried. Instead of selling fake
services and support to your partners, you should concentrate on BASIC
features like multi-currency support.

Presently, there is NO MULTICURRENCY purchasing price list as you recognized it.
So please stop pretending in the documentation that OpenERP is multi-currency enabled, this is NOT true.

And of course as a consequence OpenERP IS NOT READY for multi-currency
trade and multi-currency product assembly as it is not able to handle
multi-currency purchasing.

We want to know the truth about OpenERP, only the truth.

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.
