Multiple Currency

The MaintScape multi-currency optional module supports selectable currencies for:

• Price offerings as recorded by vendor in the Parts module.
• Order items as requested in the Purchase Requisition optional module.
• Orders placed in the Purchase Order optional module.
• Receipts as recorded in the Part Inventory Transaction module (received items do not have to be inventory controlled parts).

In all cases, however, MaintScape converts the foreign currency amount to the user's standard currency, then saves the foreign currency amount, standard currency amount, and the exchange rate. For example, a MaintScape user in the United States will set their standard currency to be U.S. Dollars. Using the multi-currency optional module, the MaintScape user could order parts from a Canadian supplier in Canadian Dollars. Reports will typically present amounts in standard currency, or U.S. Dollars in this example, since this is the currency of operation of the MaintScape user, and it permits varying currency amounts to be summed, analyzed or compared.

The sample screen print shows multi-currency at work in the MaintScape Purchase Order window. The circled amounts are totals for the entire purchase order.

Please click the button in the sample screen print to switch between standard and PO currency views. This is exactly how you change currency views when running MaintScape.
