I doubt it will be just that easy for Liberty Electronics to do that, Dan.
It sounds like the Swiss vendor is unwilling to accept the risk of an
unfavorable exchange rate fluctuation during the time between receiving the
PO and invoicing Liberty, even if it means giving up the potential gain from
a favorable fluctuation. My guess is that the vendor is forcing Liberty to
assume that risk. In that case, I think Troy probably just needs a new G/L
account, something like Gains/Losses on Currency Exchange, to which he can
post the cost difference.

Scott

You don't....do a conversion on the PO that shows the USD to Swiss Franc
conversion, but put the PO in USD. Your other alternative is to cut a
Proforma PO that is outside of the Vantage system

We don't have the Currency Management Module. We just cut our
first PO for a Swiss Vendor (not a Swiss bank unfortunately :-). The
vendor wants the PO in Swiss Francs. How do we do this without messing
up the cost when we receive it?
