"Currency Factor must have a Value..." Error Message

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by john.ellis 3,510

Hi:

In a test company, I'm trying to enter my first transaction -- a Purchase Invoice.

When I choose "G/L Account" for the Type within the Lines section, I receive an error saying "Currency Factor must have a Value in Purchase Header".

How do I eliminate this error?

Thanks!

John

    John,

    The Vendor you are using has a Currency Code setup on the Vendor Card. Have you entered an Exchange Rate for the Currency that is effective?

    Check the Vendor and also add a Currency Exchange Rate.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi, please confirm you have entered currency exchange rate for the currency.

    For example:

    Hope this will help.

    If currency based invoices are rare you may not maintain the exchange rate data. In which case you can add a value per invoice. From the header of the invoice you have the currency code field. That has an ellipsis button (three dots), when clicked opens a page to enter the exchange rate for that invoice only

    Hi All:

    Apparently, someone overnight went into my test company and somehow fixed this.  Now, I can enter a purchase invoice without errors.

    I have no clue what that person did.  I'm trying to see if I can locate him or her to ask what the solution is, for my future reference.

    There is, currently, no currency code on the vendor card.  So, again, I'm not sure what the cause or the solution was.
