Quick question about currency conversion and best practices for it.
According to your documentation here, it states:
“One base currency can be selected, and prices in other currencies will automatically be converted to the base currency based on the exchange rate.”
But when does this conversion actually happen in practice? A price list is directly linked to a currency, and the currency, in turn, is based on a country.
I tested changing the currency on a price list for a customer but didn’t see any conversion. The price 3.2 remained 3.2 but with a different currency symbol.
The ExchangeRate property is only used in the SalesDataService, which in turn is only used by the Discount and CampaignController in backoffice. So, there doesn’t seem to be any automatic conversion for price calculation purposes.
The reason I’m asking is because a customer wants prices in another currency, but say they can’t do the conversion in their ERP. So they asked if we could convert to a different currency based on a conversion rate.
