Quick question about currency conversion and best practices for it.

According to your documentation [here](https://docs.litium.com/platform/areas/globalization/currency), 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.

Currently no support for automatic conversion in the platform. Docs to be updated.
