Using Local Currency (LCY)

dleijdekkers

I am using Navision 4.0 SP1.
Standard Navision leaves the Currency on the different transaction blank

This means the transaction is in the local currency.
I have a customer that want to have the Currecny code filled,even if it is the local Currency.

My idea hereby is to Create a Currency "EUR" (for Euro) with an exchange rate of 1.

2 questions I have though are:
1) In basic Navisoin leaves the Currency Code empty, so by changing this do I create problems anywhere (anybody any experience with this)

2) How does Navision know that the currency USD would have a conversion towards the EUR.
Or is this not an Issue since Currency Code "Blank" & "EUR" are basically the same.

I hope someone already has some experience in defining the local currency as a currency code.

Any recommendations very much appreciated.

I would never customize the table data. You can run into all sorts of problems.

Just go in every Form where the "EUR" is needed into the OnFormat trigger of the Currency Code Field and put:

IF Text = '' THEN
  Text := 'EUR';

into it.

I agree completely with Kowa. I've seen this before. If you enter the actual currency code, Navision will convert the transaction to LCY and you will have a mess; the rounding differences will create gains/losses.
