If your business has vendors who use multiple currencies, you will need to understand the behavior of purchase price, preferred vendor, and different subsidiaries when you are in aOneWorld Account. When you add a new preferred vendor in a different subsidiary, the old Purchase Price is converted to the currency of the new Preferred Vendor.In a non-OneWorld account, the Purchase Price field in the body of the form is in the Preferred Vendor currency. This is straight forward since each item can only have one Preferred Vendor. But in aOneWorld account, when there is a Preferred Vendor for each subsidiary, the Purchase Price is expressed in the currency of the last Preferred Vendor in the item, hence the automatic conversion of the previous purchase price.
