Currency Settings

These are settings for the invoice currency.

Depending on your selections, different settings are displayed. If a field is displayed in certain circumstances, that information is listed below.

If this field is enabled, no currency is identified on the invoice, but a $ sign is found in the OCR text, the currency is set to USD.

This option is cleared by default.

Default PO Currency

If selected and no currency is identified on the invoice, the system uses the same currency as the purchase order.

This option is selected by default.

Default Vendor Currency

If selected and no currency is identified on the invoice, the system uses the same currency as the vendor country of origin.

This option is selected by default.

Note The Default Vendor Currency value overrides the Default PO Currency when both options are selected.
Validate From SAP

If enabled, the currency field is validated against SAP during Validation. You cannot select this field and Validate From DB at the same time.

Important This option is not available in the Azure cloud environment.
Validate From DB

If enabled, the currency field is validated against a database during Validation. You cannot select this field and Validate From SAP at the same time.

SQL Connection Group

The SQL connection group that specifies the currency database connection string as set in the Solution Configuration Manager > Global Settings > Database Connection Settings. If no connection group is specified, the system uses group 1.

The currency found on the document is validated against this named database table. This setting is mandatory for database lookups.

DB Column Name

The name of the column in the database table containing the valid currency code. This setting is mandatory for database lookups.

This setting is available only when Validate From DB is selected above.

Activate Extended Validation

When selected, extended validation is performed on the extracted currency result.

The extended validation compares the system-extracted currency to the following, in the order specified.

  1. Permitted global currencies. See the Global Currencies setting below.

  2. The vendor currency if present in the vendor extract.

  3. The currency associated with the vendor country of origin.

  4. The currency of the company code.

  5. The currency associated with the company code country.

If the invoice currency does not match any of the above, then the currency is set to invalid and must be corrected in Validation. Errors caused by missing, incomplete or incorrect configuration in connection to company code and country lookups also set the currency field to invalid.

User input in Validation is excluded from the above checks and are assumed to be correct.
