Converting the Order Currency in the Customer Master Record 

Usage

As we explained in the introduction, in 1999, IDES AG will continue to operate in Germany in the national currency (DEM). The new German customer, however, is switching all business operations to euro. This means that all orders are to be made and billed in euro. To meet this request, IDES AG first needs to convert the order currency in the customer master record from DEM to euro.

You will also convert the pricing conditions and open sales orders to euro.
