Restrict currency selection

I am wondering if there is a way to restrict the currency selection on currency fields to only 2 specific currency types, USD and Euros. Currently we've got our instance set to a single currency type (USD) to avoid any display or selection issues, and the fact that most of our business is done in US currency.

We do have one group however that has a requirement to also show purchases made in Euros, since they also deal with this currency as well. If it's possible to restrict the selection of additional currencies to specific tables and/or fields that would be great as well.

Hi Marcel!




Have you tried to just deactivate currencies? See screen shot below:

Kind regards


Thanks, that makes sense, and simple, I'm sure I was over complicating things quite a bit .



Do you know of a specific way to restrict the use of one of the currencies (in this case Euros) to only specific tables or fields? Or maybe restrict the selection to only be visible to certain roles?



Basically what I want to ensure is that on other tables that use currency fields where we are exclusively using USD, I don't want users to be able to switch the currency type to Euros accidentally or otherwise.


I understand what you're saying but I haven't tried exactly what you're asking for regarding specific tables, but maybe this is something you can set as a default value in that table, using a specific currency. (in default value in table definition)

But for specific tables I'd use a business rule to load the value in that case.
