MCS in USD and POS in EUR???

[Terence Ng]

Hi,

Could I allow to set the the default currency of MCS in USD and POS in EUR
in currency.uom.id.default
in ${ofbiz install dir}/framework/common/config/general.properties
and still able to sync?

Regards,
Terence

I don't think so, this would be a major issue has some inconsistency would be introduced in the main data base. This would need
something specific to allow conversion between. But here comes another difficulty : currencies exchange rates...

Hi,

What is the suggested way to configure the system?
It is quite common that the headquarter is in U.S., and a Physical Retail Store is in Europe.
Do I have to run two instances of Ofbiz for these two orgainzations, each other with different default currency settings?

Regards,
Terence

Hi Terence,

Yes most of the time it's easier to set 2 (or more) instances. I think it's why we don't have much use of currencies rate in OFBiz.
Maybe this link can convince you http://markmail.org/thread/lhq4sea2cthcm6cd

You may also want to set different prices with differents currencies, but this need to be maintained as OOTB there are currently no
mechanims to update a price from another (same product in another currency)

I'm working on the IBM POS printer issue right now, it's now connected thru RS232 (USB is another beast), right ?

Thanks for FireFox
