2657133 - Automatic Conversion Not Happened When Changing Currency in Purchase Order

Symptom

You manually changed purchase order currency under General tab, but system doesn't convert the price amount automatically even though the exchange rate already maintained.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  2. Open purchase order ABC (ABC refers to the purchase order ID), the total amount is 100 USD.
