Are there any ways we can change the currency of a dropship POs (POs created from a Sales Order)? I can change the supplier on the PO from the SO on the line level, but it does not look like i can change the currency of the PO at all, it takes the Primary currency of the vendor record?

I wish, but I'm pretty sure not. If you figure out a way, please share because the lack of ability to do this causes issues for us too.

@RJMNS DO you have a workaround? Just create the SO and PO separately ?

I believe that's what finance does yeah. They delete the PO, do some calcs outside the system and then re-enter the PO. It's definitely not ideal.

It is by design, once a transaction is created you cannot change few field values, such as currency and subsidiary. This done to keep the GL integrity intact. Only option is to start from scratch.

@Sam-I-Am Yes but at that stage, neither transactions (SO & PO) have been created yet. Im not asking how to change the currency on the PO once its created, I'm asking how to set it in the first place during dropship SO creation. Doesnt sound like its possible?

I believe if you enable the vendor as a multi subsidiary vendor, you could then have a different Currency for each subsidiary. In that case the currency MAY be inherited from the vendor to match the subsidiary of the SO?

@Sean Murphy Yes I can change the primary cuirrent on the vendor record to the required currency, this is one workaround. However, this isnt ideal obviously if the PO currency needs to be one of the secondary currency.
