Re: Multi-currency customers

[Jeff_Klipa/Harvard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

 We have a number of customers that have been set up as multi-currency in
 error.  What would be the effect on transaction and balance data if I
re-set
 these customers to single currency using SQL?  All transactions have been
 processed as one currency.

I asked a former JBA (now freelance) financial consultant this question and
this is what they said...

"Yep, I wouldn't do it to the transaction/balance data.  Seems like DFU-ing
data produces "unpredictable" results...

But I think manually flagging each specific customers multi-currency flag
off
to '0' (1/ARM, 1st screen at bottom) would be ok.  The system does a check
and
will let them do this only if there are no outstanding orders.
If necessary with open orders, they could then SQL only the customer file
(to
affect future postings), but I am not sure how it would affect open orders.
I
wouldn't touch the past transactions though, that usually doesn't work too
well."
