Customers and Suppliers

If you are using the currency option, you can assign a Currency to each foreign Customer and Supplier. This is done on the 'Pricing' card of the Customer screen and the 'Company' card of the Supplier screen. The Currency can be entered using the 'Paste Special' function.

Once you have done this, as soon as you enter a Customer or Supplier to a transaction of any type (e.g. Invoice, Receipt, Order, Purchase Invoice, etc), the appropriate Currency and current conversion rates will be brought in by Hansa. You will not be able to change to a different Currency in an individual transaction. However, you will be able to change the conversion rate on an ad hoc basis if necessary, although this is usually not recommended. If you wish to prevent this for a particular Currency, switch on the Prevent Base Rate Changes and/or Prevent Foreign Rate Changes options for that Currency.

In the case of Customers or Suppliers in whose name transactions are likely to be in various Currencies (for example, the Customer's or Supplier's home Currency, the Euro or Dollar and your home Currency), leave the Currency field in the Customer or Supplier record blank. You will then be able to enter transactions in any Currency, with the default being your Default Base Currency (defined in the Base Currency setting).

For Customers and Suppliers that use the home Currency, the Currency field can in most cases be left blank. Again, in this situation the Default Base Currency will be used.
