Change default currency from USD to AED

Nithin21 — Sat, 28 Dec 2019 07:25:52 GMT

Without changing the configuration to single currency, is it possible to change the default currency from USD to AED.

I am looking at the contract module (ast_contract).

Just confirming here, do you want the changes only for "ast_contract" table records or global changes ?

Ideally we would like to do global.

Is there an option to do it per table also ?

for global changes, kindly refer the below blog.

let me check if it can be done for one table only.

try with below onload client script on your form.

instead of EUR , you can use AED

function onLoad() {
	//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
	if (g_form.getValue("payment_amount").indexOf("USD") != -1) {


		g_form.setValue("payment_amount", g_form.getValue("payment_amount").replace(/\bUSD\b/g, 'EUR'));
	}
}

Ok, I understand the rationale for the clinet script.

There is a concern when we change the currency using client script.

If amount is set as 10USD and then change the currency via client script, i guess it will show 10AED.

However 10USD != 10AED
