Multi-Currency Sales Quotations
Odoo keeps one accounting currency on each sales order. That is the right foundation for taxes, invoices and the ledger, but a commercial quotation can still contain prices expressed in more than one currency. A forwarder may quote an ocean freight leg in USD and a local charge in VND on the same document. When a pricelist converts that USD price into the order currency, the source-currency face of the price would otherwise disappear from the line.
This module keeps that face visible and editable. Each line can carry an Origin Currency and an Origin Unit Price beside its order-currency unit price. The two unit prices stay aligned: changing either one restates the other at the quotation's applicable rates. The sales order itself still has one accounting currency, so invoice, tax and ledger mechanics keep their standard behaviour - with one deliberate addition: a foreign-currency invoice of a multi-currency order is refused at posting while no exchange rate has ever been recorded for that currency.
Key Features
- Keep the current origin currency, origin unit price and origin subtotal beside the order-currency price on each quotation line
- Recognise an origin currency automatically when a proportional pricelist rule takes its price from another pricelist held in a different currency
- Let salespeople edit either unit price while keeping its counterpart in the other currency consistent
- Show origin-currency line prices and totals per currency on the printed quotation
- Show totals per currency on the online quotation
- Show totals per currency in the quotation and pro-forma emails
- Carry an exchange-rate clause on multi-currency quotations, editable per order and printed with the document
- Configure the clause wording and the exchange-rate source per company
- Refuse to post a foreign invoice of a multi-currency order while no exchange rate has ever been recorded for that currency
Benefits
- A quotation keeps both commercial views: the source-currency price remains beside the amount used by the order.
- Edits stay coherent: changing the price in either currency immediately restates its counterpart.
- No behaviour change when unused: every field is optional; an order without origin currencies looks and prints exactly as before.
- Contained accounting scope: the order keeps one currency; the only accounting intervention is a posting check that stops a foreign invoice from being booked at a rate nobody recorded.
