Considerations for Header Fields

Keep in mind these considerations for header fields and multicurrency:

• The base currency default value is derived from the company.

  The company can be derived from the responsible business unit. You cannot change the value in the Base Currency field.

• The system supplies the transaction currency default value from:

  • The service dealer's AR record for a warranty claim.

  • The supplier's AP record for a supplier recovery claim.

  You can change the value in the transaction currency fields until you attach parts detail or labor detail.

• If currencies are different, the system supplies the Foreign default value in the Foreign/Domestic Mode field.

  You can change the value in this field until you attach parts detail or labor detail.

• If currencies are the same, the system supplies the Domestic default value in the Foreign/Domestic Mode field.

  You cannot change the value in this field. Also, the default value of the exchange rate is zero, which you cannot change.

• The system supplies the default exchange rate based on the two currencies from the Currency Exchange Rates table (F0015).

  You can change the value in this field until you attach parts detail or labor detail.

• After you attach parts detail or labor detail, you cannot change the service dealer for a warranty claim or the supplier for a supplier recovery claim.
