I want to change the local currency from INR to USD for the past 3 years' transactions and going forward in the future, I will keep USD as my local currency. Is this feasible in NAV 2009 version or what manual steps should I follow to do this change after considering the aspect of Adjust exchange rate batch job. I tried to enable the Additional reporting currency boolean in the General ledger set up but i guess it's not working for the historical data. Any early response will be highly appreciable.

Thanks,

Sumit

My recommendation to you will simply be not to do this and not even try to do it.

You should create a new NAV company that is configured with the correct currency from the begining.

Then you can discuss with your partner how they can assist you in converting the data you need from your old NAV company to the new NAV company.

And because you are on NAV 2009 you should take the opportunity to upgrade to Business Central at the same time.

I totally agree with Igne.

Hopefully the link below will convince you too.

In addition, NAV2009 has been out of service for a long time, please update to the latest version as soon as possible.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

Hi,

This is not feasible and recommended. Pls create New companies with fresh base currency and do the transactions accordingly.
