We’ve recently updated to version 10.2.600.6 and have global currency setup in a parent company and child companies linked. I had to add a new currency to the parent company. However, the rate type didn’t link to the child companies. So I tried to relink the rate type in the Rate Type Maintenance in one of the child companies but came across this error:
We’ve never used EURO for a currency ID and always used EUR so I’m very confused where this is even coming from. Anyone else came across something similar to this and found a solution?
Being such a recent version, I would recommend you open an Epicor Support Case, smells like a bug to me.
Make sure you are not confusing the CurrencyCode and Currency ID, check your Currency Master.
The error message is not clear on which one it is referring to, but I’ve seen Currency Master setups where the Code is EURO and the Currency ID is EUR or visa versa or even those two are EURO and the Symbol Description or name is EUR.
It can be confusing.
For all our currencies setup in the Currency Master, CurrencyCode = CurrencyID = CurrencySymbol which are all the official 3 letter world currency code for each currency we have. This is why it’s so confusing where EURO is coming from when we’ve used EUR for all three of these currency fields.
One of my clients reported a Currency related issue in 10.2.600.9 where they are a US currency Company but they have a Supplier setup on EUR as well as their Price List, but when they create a PO it’s running the EUR value through the exchange rate anyways, not sure if this is related or if there are other currency issues in 10.2.600.
Still digging into it. Currency setup is complicated enough the way it is.
Just curious if you heard back from Epicor Support on this issue or not.
All I can provide based on your error that it is coming from the Currency Cross-Rate table setup. Double check the configuration as well as in GLB and your Child Co.
Thanks all, yes Rick I’ve been communicating with EpicCare. I was instructed by them to give parameters for all companies where SourceCurrCode = ‘EURO’ for a data fix. I found this in the GlbCurrConvRule table. This is similar to what Jonathan was referring to except they asked for SourceCurrCode instead of GlbSourceCurrCode. There’s ‘EURO’ in both of these columns to add to the confusion.
EpicCare sent us their first attempt at a data fix today but it didn’t work. We’ve sent back exactly what steps we took and showed how it didn’t work as expected from their instructions.
hasokeric, I’m not sure what the Currency Cross-Rate table is. Is it in Currency Management?
