Part Purchased in Wrong Currency

Legacy Contributor

How do you keep a consumable Part from being purchased in the wrong currency? In my testing ver 6.5.4 if a Part ID with a unit price in currency A is added to a PO of currency B it shows $0 Unit Price which can then be changed to whatever the User wants. Doesn't seem to matter if the exchange rate is defined in Part Maintenance for that Part ID. I guess what I'm asking is there a way to keep a Part ID with a unit price in currency A from being used on a PO in a different currency?

We don't use currencies, but we sometimes have similar situations for other aspects.

We had to set up macros to change such items back to the correct price. It involved calling the correct tables and pulling the data, then calculating if needed and placing the result into a line.

you can't select them from the drop-down, but you can type thinks like LINES(1).VALUE("PART_ID") into a macro to get or change individual line items.
