    Hi,
     
    As such there are not limitations or disadvantages with this setup. You can pretty much invoice to the vendor in any currency and make payment in any currency and apply all those entries with each others.
     
    The things you need to keep in mind is that your exchange rates are always updated in currencies. Also try to apply transactions with same currency to avoid lot of confusing calculations of realized and unrealized gain/loss.
     
     
    Regards,
    Dhiren.

    Hello,
     
    Leaving the vendor Currency Code blank in BC is supported and allows posting both LCY and foreign-currency invoices to the same vendor, but the trade-off is mostly operational: reporting and aging get messier because balances mix currencies, currency-specific controls (credit limit, tolerances, statistics) are weaker, payments must still match currency exactly, and exchange rate differences become harder to track and reconcile. It works fine if the vendor genuinely invoices in multiple currencies, but for cleaner control and reporting, separate vendors per currency is usually the safer setup.
