1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders Work center.
2. Go to Common Tasks.
3. Select New Purchase Order.
   • System defaults the Company ID and Currency details.
4. Change the Company details.

System will not change the Currency to the new Company Currency.

• System always defaults the Currency from the user's Company Currency who is logged in to the system.
• Based on the user details, system picks the Company of the user in the Purchase Order and it will default the Company Currency.
• Later if the user manually tries to change the Company details in the Purchase Order, system will not change the Currency to new Company Currency which user does not belong to.
• Once Currency is determined, system will not change or update the Currency.

This is the standard system behaviour.
