Changing the Order Currency of a Vendor Master Record

During the dual-currency phase, companies can choose when to convert from the national currency to the Euro and therefore will be able to operate in either Euro or national currency according to a �no-compulsion, no-prohibition� principle.

Our demo scenario focuses on a German company: IDES AG. At the beginning of the dual currency phase, IDES AG has not yet converted to the Euro, i.e. the company�s local currency is still the national currency DEM. IDES AG has some large business partners in Germany and many of the other European states participating in the European Monetary Union. As of 01/01/1999, some of these business partners have already converted to the Euro and want to encourage their business partners to start dealing with them in Euro.

The German supplier has already converted its business operations to Euro and wants to start receiving orders and billing ist customers in Euro.

To accommodate this request, IDES AG must change the purchase order currency in the vendor master record to Euro. As a result, any new purchase orders for this vendor will be placed in Euro.

This script illustrates a new mass change transaction that allows you to change the order currency in vendor master records to the Euro.

* Even though the following demo scenario focuses on a German company and its customer, be aware that any other company that has customers in the EMU states might be confronted with the exact same request and might therefore have a need for the same mass change transaction.

* The process of customizing in the currency table is shown in Note 91481 (OSS).
