Multiple currencies

Open hgpit opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Are there any plans to support multiple currencies?

We purchase IT assets from all over the world, so we naturally get invoiced/billed int various currencies. Would be great to be able to store this information.

Thanks.

yes, that would be very useful, even if the exchange rate management is manual at first

If we accept that the data model of GLPI is mono-currency, then "only" the following would need to be done to address this:

  • set the database currency, update all places where costs are displayed to include the currency name
  • update all places where new cost data is entered into the system to include a "from-currency" popup, which should default to the database currency, and a date field called "cost effective date" or something, which is the date that should be used for currency rate lookup.
  • have a setting showing where to get rates from (i.e. https://exchangeratesapi.io/#pricing_plan)
  • before inserting new data into the database, convert using the effective date, the from currency, and the amount.
