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 ?

RE: Currency Symbol

Hi Babu,

My issue is that the '$' sign appears even if am using a different currency. The figures are correct(in the respective originating or functional currency), but the symbol in this message is always '$' - disregarding the ones set in the currency setup.

RE: Currency Symbol

This is an information message and maybe developer forget to make the currency symbol dynamic with the change of currency and just hard coded the $ sign with the text, and just replacing the account number, item and amount information with current one. :)

RE: Currency Symbol

Hi Almas,

Thanks for the response. That is possibly the case. I wish there was a away of disabling the message altogether. My client is using a different currency - and is not happy with the wrong symbol appearing on the alert, next to the figures.

Hi Peter,

What is your functional currency of the company, is it USD or any other currency.

Hi Babu,

The functional currency is not USD, it's a different local currency.

RE: Currency Symbol

Why not try some VBA code to close the message window. :)

RE: Currency Symbol

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.
