Hello All,
Baan IVc4
We are starting to implement the configurator,
and we would like to set up distinct pricing for various currencies.

Allowing Baan to do the currency conversion to move generic price list entries between currencies will not do what we need.

I have thought of two options for solving this problem:
1) Create a feature 'Currency' and then use that feature in my generic price list constraints.
OR
2) From within my validation constraint, read the sales order header, and retreive the currency.

Has any one had experience \ recommendations on this issue before ?

Thanks
John

One idea (not sure if suitable) would be to have all the price list lines in the same currency and then use a surcharge or discount price list line to convert between the currencies at whatever rate. This will only work if your conversions are rather simple.

We have 2 lines in generic price lists - 1 for £ & 1 for Euros - although you could add more. Most of our pricing is based on a cost plus model so we generate a cost (which happens to be in £) then add a margin then in the Euro sales price list it calculates using a fixed exchange rate which is actually held in a file. We also store the fixed exchange rate for reference in the variant.

I think if the sales order currency is not £ or Euros it converts using the Baan system exchange rates (so this is a floating price).

Hope this gives you another option.
