Create a Purchase Receipt in a Non-Base Currency

If you are using the contract-based REST API to integrate MYOB Acumatica with an external system, this external system can create a purchase receipt in a non-base currency. For details about the management of purchase documents, see Managing Purchase Documents.

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:
  1. Deploy a new MYOB Acumatica instance with the U100 dataset. For details on deploying an instance, see To Deploy an MYOB Acumatica Instance.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, make sure that the Inventory and Order Management and Multicurrency Accounting features are enabled.
  5. Modify the GOODFRUITS vendor as follows:
    Tip:
    If you use the IntegrationDevelopmentGuide.postman_collection.json Postman collection for testing, you do not need to perform the following configuration steps because they are performed in the pre-request script.
    1. On the Vendors (AP303000) form, select the GOODFRUITS vendor.
    2. On the Financial tab, select the following check boxes: Enable Currency Override and Enable Rate Override.
    3. In the Curr. Rate Type box, select SPOT.
    4. Save your changes.

You can use the following example of an HTTP request to create a purchase receipt in a non-base currency by using the CurrencyID and CurrencyRate fields. In the example, you will override cost-related values (such as UnitCost or ExtendedCost).
Tip:
In the request example below, <MYOB Acumatica instance URL> is the URL of the MYOB Acumatica instance (such as https://my.acumatica.com/MyInstance). You can omit the instance name in the URL (that is, you can use https://my.acumatica.com) if the instance is installed in the root of the website.
