1. Navigate to the Eligibility for Advances Portlet.
2. Request for an Advance.
3. Observe that the "Currency" field is required to be filled out.

The "Currency" field in the Advance Request screen is derived from the "currencyGO" field in the "Advance" object. This field is set to Required by default. Any attempt to change this to non-required results in an error, indicating that such a change is not permitted.

1. When configuring Eligibility for Advances, there is an option to set the Currency field. If this is filled out, the Currency field is automatically populated when a user requests an Advance.
2. If the Currency field is left blank, the user will be prompted to fill it out in the Advance Request screen. This behavior is unchangeable as the Currency field is required for this object.
3. To prevent users from creating or editing the "Currency" object, set this field to secured.
4. Grant at least "View" access to all users.
5. For admins, grant both "View" and "Edit" access.
