Hi all,
I am using Encumbrance management. In the Purchase Requisition window, i am getting a budget message(alert) with the correct amount, but with the wrong currency symbol('$'). I have confirmed that the currency index and ID are set correctly. I even altered the symbol for USD, just to be sure, but the '$' is still appearing. Any ideas ?

Hi Bill,
I did change even the currency symbol for USD on Fabrikam, and the '$' remains.
Peter I am with Babu on this one.
When you configure your local currency - does it show the correct currency in the Application? If so, then as you note, it is only in this message that the $ sign appears.
One way to quickly test what Almas is suggesting would be to change the currency indicator for the USD to something else and see what appears in this window.
If as explained it remains $ sign, then is is a hard coded value in the screen and has nothing to do with the actual currency that is being addressed in the process.
If it is really a big issue, I would further investigate as Babu notes, turning off the message in the application.
Peter,
I don't have Encumbrance Management installed so I am giving you idea of how to use vba to stop popup of information window on some other GP window, just do the same with your Encumbrance Management window on which you want to disable this popup.
1. Open the window in which this message pops, go to tools menu>>Customize>>Add current window to visual basic.
2. Now again go to Tools>> Customize>> and now click Visual Basic Editor.
3.Editor will open, find your window and paste below code on the right hand side pan.

Private Sub Window_BeforeModalDialog(ByVal DlgType As DialogType, PromptString As String, Control1String As String, Control2String As String, Control3String As String, Answer As DialogCtrl)
If PromptString <> "" Then
Answer = dcButton1
End If
End Sub
Please note that instead of typing the prompt message , I am checking if not empty because our prompt string have different account and amount with different item, you can even make that string by reading the values from window but it would be hard for you.
Hi Babu,
I set the symbol in the 'Currency setup' window (Tools >> System> Currency). On your second point, I haven't seen where to disable the warning, in the system - it is appearing for everyone.
Hi Peter,
Can you please confirm where did you change the currency symbol from $ to something else. Also if you user doesn't wanted to see this warning is there option to stop at the default level.
Hi Almas,
Am not so clear on how to get this window to VBA. See screenshot below:
Why not try some VBA code to close the message window. :)
Hi Babu,
The functional currency is not USD, it's a different local currency.
Hi Peter,
What is your functional currency of the company, is it USD or any other currency.
