Currency control example
A seller buys in CNY and reads the consolidated result in RUB.
- Purchase currency
- CNY
- Reporting currency
- RUB
- Save state
- Saved
Product cost retains its purchase context while reports use the selected reporting currency.
The example explains currency roles; it is not an exchange-rate quote.
Separate purchase and reporting currencies
Purchase currency belongs to product cost. Reporting currency is the common context used to read revenue, expenses and profit. Keep both explicit when procurement and sales use different currencies.
A selection is not saved automatically
After any currency change, use the Save currencies action. The highlighted save state means that the current form differs from the stored setting.
- 1
Select the purchase currency.
- 2
Select the reporting currency.
- 3
Click Save currencies.
- 4
Wait for the saved confirmation.
Check one known product after saving
Open a product with a known cost and compare its amount, currency and margin. This catches an incorrect currency role before it affects a larger report.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the Save currencies button highlighted?
The current selection differs from the stored setting. Click the button to apply it.
Is reporting currency the same as purchase currency?
Not always. Purchase currency belongs to cost, while reporting currency is used to read the consolidated result.
