With model- or variant-specific currency in Franchise Data, there is a potential issue of mixed currencies with regard to a vehicle specification. Whereas the ex-factory content (vehicle; colour; trim, and factory-fitted options) might be in foreign currency set at the Model of variant, some locally supplied options will be priced in base currency at franchise- or global level.
If dealer options priced in base currency are added onto either a vehicle stock record, or a quote, based in foreign currency, they must be converted to foreign currency by using the current, vehicle-sales exchange rate.
In this program, if base-currency items are added to a foreign-currency-priced vehicle or -quote, the base-currency price is converted to the foreign currency of the VSB record or the Showroom quote and uses the same currency rate as the ex-Factory items.
Note: Before using this program, you must ensure that the Autoline system has been set up correctly. This is normally done by, or on advice from, an Autoline consultant. Consultants should refer to the handover document. Ensure that the necessary foreign-currency- and base-currency exchange rates are set up in Nominal Ledger > Bank and currency options > Currency exchange rates. Foreign-currency code in the Model codes needs to be set up for multiple currencies to be activated. (See also: Model Variants.) Table files and parameters must be set up in MS > X3. Base currency must be set in NL System parameters.
Whatever level (Global, Franchise, Model, Variant), a specification line is created at in Franchise Data, determines the currency. Because foreign currency starts at Model level, any specification line created in Franchise data at that level and below - namely model and variant - has the same currency as the model.

When you add specification lines to a VSB record, the currency of the line does not change from the level at which it was created in Franchise Data. However, whatever Display is selected on the VS record (BASE or currency of the model) is what will be seen.
Note: The Display Currency field can be changed by selecting the drop-down button 
.

The values are converted when Display currency is changed.

To order a multi-currency vehicle:
On the Autoline Master Menu, click Showroom CRM > [Company] > Quotations > New Vehicle. 
Select the vehicle model, which should have been set up as a foreign-currency vehicle in Franchise Data module.
In the Confirm Vehicle Selection view of the Showroom Enquiries wizard, the Vehicle price is displayed in foreign currency because the vehicle you selected is a foreign-currency model.

When you action the order, the core tables are updated with the base-currency values. The SR-quote exchange-rates table in Manufacturer Systems (X3.MS.vmcqu) stores the quote magic-number, exchange rate, and currency code, and is visible in a file viewer to very high-priority users.
Note to System Administrators: For system maintenance and security purposes, the content and function of this table require an access priority of 9. Information regarding Priority 9 functions is normally restricted. If you require assistance, please contact Autoline Software Support.
This SR-quote exchange-rates record is used to calculate the foreign-currency values when you accept and create the foreign-currency order into VSB.
