Where in the setup can I set it up to automatically default to US Currency?

The customer is now saying:

I understand that, which is why putting a vendor to a defined currency won’t work because those “classes” are reserved for real type classes.

If there another option? Can the system just default to US Currency?

Each vendor is assigned only to one class. This logic applies for all the master entities in Dynamics GP (Items, Vendors and Customers)

The relations is one class to many entities, Parent-Childs relationship.

OK. Thinking this might not work because if we have a Vendor in a Material or Utility Class already…. Then we can’t assign multiple classes to them.

Correct?

Only the field you changed will be rolled down. Still, be careful.

It will ask you once you apply any changes on the class level, whether or not you want to roll down changes to items within this class.

Would the default field change only effect the one field being referenced for Currency Value when it flows downstream or would it also effect other fields?

Go to Admin (if you have the rights)

Setup List

System

Currency

Select Z-US$ from the drop down.

As you set up your Vendor Class you can add this in the Currency ID
