How to set currency in ofbiz?

[Balaji Sundar]

I want to set the currency to INR.

While creating the product store i set it to INR and while adding price to a product i set it to INR.

But in the product page, the price is $0.00.

If i change to USD, it works!

So, what i guess is that there must be a configuration file or something that sets the currency to INR globally.

So, How to set currency in ofbiz?

shouldn't that change when the language is set in the UI also?

change productscreens.xml
                <property-to-field field="defaultCurrencyUomId"
resource="general" property="currency.uom.id.default" default="USD"/>

so it gets it from the session instead?

I did not find any errors while creating product store , catalog, catagory, product or the price.
If i change in the general.properties file, it only shows up first in the dropdown list and does nothing else.

All i want is the currency to be set to INR globlally.

there is a service that can be called, I am check it see if it is called
when the language is changed.
it might also be something to add to the my page or preferences.

Problem is now the other way.....!!!

I am not able to revert to USD now.

I changed INR to USD and it is not affecting.

I changed in store, accounting and in product also in general.properties file and ProductScreens.xml file...... but of no use.... it just wont revert back.
I even restarted the server.. it did not help....

I even cleard the cookies and sessions...
no use...

I planned to revert because, the vat which i set in tax authority did not take affect if i use INR. But it was affecting when it was USD...

Wat should i do now? I really need INR and vat working together... it is not happening here... vat is working with only USD and not INR..

Can anyone help me on this?

I don't think there is a trigger to convert defaults.
there are services that can do the basics but not a comprehensive say
and seca in each module to convert from one to another.
I think the best road is to find out why INR does not work and fix it.
to that end, I probably will not put any effort since my plate is full,
and I don't understand VAT.
Hopefully someone will pick up the ball, and do something.

VAT should work as I had it working for one of the project. Best thing
is to create a some data on a demo or public server and let others to
poke in to find why it is not working. I can certainly help a bit if I
have access to the system.

Thanks,

Raj
