Inventory and Order Management: Branch-Specific Requisitions with Multiple Base Currencies

Starting in MYOB Acumatica 2026.1.1, you can use purchase requests and requisitions in tenants whose companies use different base currencies. Each request and requisition is created for a specific originating branch, and related documents and warehouses must use that branch’s base currency.

Attention:
This functionality is available only if both the Purchase Requisitions feature and the Multiple Base Currencies feature are enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. In earlier versions, these features couldn’t be used together.

What’s New in Purchase Requests and Requisitions

This update introduces the following improvements in purchase requests and requisitions:

  • Enhanced control over branch consistency: With the Multibranch Support or Multicompany Support feature enabled, you can select the originating branch when you create a purchase request or requisition. When you generate purchase and sales orders for the requisition, the system copies its branch to the generated documents. This ensures consistent expense distribution.
  • Restricted customer and vendor usage: With the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature enabled, you can control which customers and vendors are available for selection in purchase requests and requisitions based on the document’s branch or company.
  • Base currency verification: If the Multiple Base Currencies feature is enabled, the requisition's branch and the warehouse branch in each requisition line must have the same base currency.
  • Company- or branch-specific budgets: Now you can validate each purchase request against the budget of the originating branch or company. On top of that, you can assign a separate budget ledger to each company.

The next several sections describe how these improvements affect the workflow of purchase requests and requisitions.

About the Multiple Base Currencies Feature

The Multiple Base Currencies feature is designed to provide expanded functionality for organizations that do business in more than one country. With this feature enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, a single tenant can include multiple companies or branches, each using its own base currency in financial transactions.

For more information about multiple base currencies in a single tenant, see Multiple Base Currencies: General Information.

Creating a Request

In a new purchase request on the Requests (RQ301000) form, the following behavior applies when the corresponding feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form:

  • Multibranch Support or Multicompany Support: The system automatically inserts the current branch into the new Branch box (shown below) on the Other tab. You can change this branch while the request has the On Hold status.
  • Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction: A customer or vendor is available for selection if the Restrict Visibility To box on the Financial tab of the Customers (AR303000) or Vendors (AP303000) form is empty or contains the branch specified in this document (or this branch’s company or company group).
  • Multiple Base Currencies: The base currency of the request is copied from its branch. The base currency of the request's branch, vendors, and customer must match.

Creating a Requisition

In a new purchase requisition on the Requisitions (RQ302000) form, the following behavior applies when the corresponding feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form:

  • Multibranch Support or Multicompany Support: When you create a new requisition, the system inserts the current branch into the new Branch box (shown below) on the Other tab. You can change this branch while the requisition has the On Hold status.
  • Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction: A customer or vendor is available for selection if the Restrict Visibility To box on the Financial tab of the Customers (AR303000) or Vendors (AP303000) form is empty or contains the branch specified in this document (or the branch’s company or company group).
  • Multiple Base Currencies: The following rules apply:
    • The base currency of the requisition's branch must match the base currency of the originating request.
    • The base currency of the warehouse in requisition lines can't differ from the base currency of the requisition's branch.

When you add request lines by clicking Add Requested Items on the Details tab, you can use the following new settings in the Select Requested Items dialog box:

  • The Branch box (Item 1 below) in the Summary area. If you select a branch, the table shows only request lines that have the same branch.

    If the Multiple Base Currencies feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form, you can select only branches with the same base currency as that of the requisition's branch. If the box is empty, the table shows only items from requests whose branch has the same base currency as the branch of the requisition.

  • The Branch and Branch Name columns (Item 2) in the table, which display the originating branch of each request.

Creating Orders for a Requisition

On the Create Orders (RQ505000) form, you can use the new optional Branch box (Item 1 below) in the Selection area to narrow down the list of requisitions by branch. The new Branch and Branch Name columns of the table display branch information; these columns are hidden by default.

For each requisition, the system creates purchase and sales orders in the source branch of that requisition.

Mass-Creating Requisitions

On the Create Requisitions (RQ504000) form, the following behavior applies when the corresponding feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form:

  • Multibranch Support or Multicompany Support: The Branch and Branch Name columns (Item 1 below) show the branch of the request and its name. These columns are hidden by default.
  • Multiple Base Currencies: In the new Creation Branch box (Item 2), you can select the target branch of the new requisition. When you select a branch, the table contains only request lines whose requests have the same base currency as that of the selected branch.

Specifying Budget Ledgers for Companies

On the new Budget tab of the Purchase Requisitions Preferences (RQ101000) form, you can assign a separate budget ledger to each company in the tenant as follows:

  1. In the table, add a row for each company (Item 1 below) to which you want to assign a budget ledger. This table replaces the Budget Ledger box previously located on the General tab of the form.
  2. In the Ledger ID column (Item 2), specify the budget ledger that will be used for the company. A single budget ledger can be used in multiple companies.
  3. In the new Validate By box (Item 3), select what the system uses to validate purchase requests against budgets. You can select one of the following options:
    • Budget Ledger: The system validates requests from all companies with the same budget ledger against a single combined budget. In previous versions of the application, the system used this option only.
    • Branch: The system validates requests against the budget of the originating branch.
    • Company: The system validates requests against the budget of the company to which the originating branch belongs.
  4. In the Budget Calculation box (Item 4), select the time interval for calculating request amounts. This box was previously located on the General tab and functions as it did before.
