Currency

  • Rule 1 - If there is a currency symbol or ISO currency code found on the document, then it will be populated in the Currency field. 
  • Rule 2 - If no currency is found on the document then the system will check if there is a currency set against the supplier account in your accounting system (master data). If there is, then this will be populated in the Currency field.
  • Rule 3 - If no currency is found on the document and there is no currency set against the supplier account in your accounting system, then a default currency based on the supplier's country will be populated in the Currency field. If this rule is used, then the currency will be shown in green, meaning the system will ask you to confirm if it is correct.
Why is the Currency field blank?
The Currency field will be blank if all of the below conditions are true:
  • There is no currency recognised on the Purchase Invoice document 
  • There is no currency set against the supplier account in the accounting system
  • There is no country set against the supplier account in the accounting system
In this case you will need to manually enter the 3-letter ISO Currency Code (e.g. GBP).
