Enable Currency Overriding and Rate Overriding for a Customer

If you are using the contract-based REST API to integrate MYOB Acumatica with an external system, this external system can enable currency overriding and rate overriding for a customer.

Testing of the Request

Before you test the code below, you need to do the following to configure your client application and the MYOB Acumatica instance to be used:

Deploy a new MYOB Acumatica instance with the U100 dataset. For details on deploying an instance, see To Deploy an MYOB Acumatica Instance.
To sign in to the instance in the client application, use the tenant name (which you specified when you created the instance) and the HEADOFFICE branch.
If you use Postman as the client application for testing, in the IntegrationDevelopmentGuide.postman_collection.json collection (which is located in the IntegrationDevelopment\Help folder of the Help-and-Training-Examples repository on GitHub), make sure the collection variables have the proper values.
On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, make sure that the Inventory and Order Management and Multicurrency Accounting features are enabled.
Configure multicurrency support as follows:
1. On the Currencies (CM202000) form, open EUR, select the Active and Use for Accounting boxes, and specify the following values in the other boxes:
  - Realized Gain Account: 83100
  - Realized Loss Account: 83100

  - Rounding Gain Account: 83100
  - Rounding Loss Account: 83100
  Save your changes.
2. On the Currency Management Preferences (CM101000) form, click Save.

  - Currency Effective Date: Today
  - Currency Rate: 1.1
