Yes,





2) after that an invoice is generated in one currency, don't convert it

I'd really suggest at least the following in order to make the process more canonical: 1) the invoice should be created in the currency that the customer expects, the same of the order 3) if the point #1 is not possible (why?) and the customer really wants to see the invoice in a different currency, then you can provide a PDF version of the invoice in a different currency; the conversion is done on the fly (not stored in the db) for the report, but the conversion rate is dated so that you will get the same numbers even if the conversion rate changes over time 4) if we receive a payment in a currency different from the one of the invoice: I'll have to think more about the proper solution, but one could be to convert the payment in the invoice currency and then apply it to the invoice Invoices are official documents, and I would be very surprised if there are countries that require you to modify an invoice if you receive a payment in a different currency: this could cause confusion and, as Enrique suggested, GL issues and we should try to implement in OFBiz the most standard processes, especially in areas like invoicing and accounting.

Hello Hans, Jacopo

I am not familiar with Ofbiz accounting rules yet, but from what I

shouldn't have to be converted to a different currency in order for a
payment in that currency to be applied to.


accounting schema, it doesn't depend on a specific party's currency or

from the original document.

understood I would have to agree with Jacopo in that an invoice (document) From previous knowledge I can tell you, it is a general practice in ERP systems that the base currency is pretty much tied to an initial setup or anything else, rather an accounting gain/loss transaction should be set up in order to keep track of such payments when the currencies are different
