Since a customer might be having their business units spread across the globe operating in different currencies, it is always appropriate to define the PO Policies which are specific to a Site and the currency tagged to each of the site. and also has the amount restrictions defined in policy for each of the respective Site currency.

 

Effect of applying site level Currency settings

Defining site level Currency Settings is the first step towards enabling multi-currency transactions.

Further to which based on Multi-currency settings (as defined in the configuration module) other currencies such as Transaction and Base can be calculated.

When an R2 user approves a PO with their credentials, the validations are done against either the Site Currency Amount of the PO or Base Currency Amount of the PO, depending on whether Site is tagged or not.

 

When Multi-currency is enabled the 'Currency Tagged in PO policy' is assumed to be the 'Site Currency' on the PO.

Therefore the amount in the PO Policy record is always compared with PO amount.

 

 

Shown above is a sample of PO Policies Dialog Box. Let's interpret and understand the SIX rules defined above.

For PO type 'Inventory' raised from any site:

  1. If PO amount is 'Greater Than' 500 and up to 2499, in Base Currency or in Site Currency (if Multi-currency is enabled), it has to be approved by Sara or Jefferson.
