How can I change Functional Currency to upper case?

Posted on by 2,680

Dynamics GP 2010 - just installed multi currency management.

Unfortunately when installing, the functional currency defaulted to lower case "z-us$" even though all the lookups are in upper case.

Now if purchasing accidentally erases the currency ID field in POP, they cannot select "Z-US$" because that is not what is correct.

I have attempted to select the upper case version from the setup but of course it states that transactions have already been created with this currency ID and cannot be changed.

Is there any way to recreate this opportunity?  Any SQL update statement?

Please advise,

thanks

    Hi Pam,

    The question may sound dumb, but why are you using the currencies starting with Z-... those were created to be used with the Fabrkiam / TWO company for training purposes... You should create your own currencies in the production companies and assign them to currency translation tables.

    Once the Transactions are created and processed, its is difficult to change the Functional currency which is predefined in the setup. It is possible to create the new Company to do the process that you mention above.
