Hi,
I have been trying the multicurrency feature in vtigerCRM. It works more or less ok but there does seem to be one big problem.
- I make a quote, so, invoice, etc... with an established exchange rate
- time goes by and the exchange rate changes
- i now consult my invoice and it does not have the same values I sent to my client
In other words, the finished or closed documents should not change when the exchange rate does. This is also valid for some open entities like a quote.
I suppose that there must exist a many to many relation between the entities and the possible currencies so that the exchange rate gets saved (and established) when the entity is created.
Please correct me if I am missing something.
Thanks, Joe

in a way you are correct but the other requirement is to have the quote, so, invoice to be in sync with exchange rates. this can arise when we create quotes and try to deliver it later.
we had a small debate on this sometime back on how to support multi currency support going forward. any inputs or contributions are most welcome.

yes i agree that a (not closed) quote can change with exchange rate. but paid invoices, accepted so or closed (historical) quotes shouldn't. ¿no?
