Hi,
we have currencies fields (ex : annual revenue in organisation)
however, amount entered is in base currency
is it possible to choose the currency for the field?
ex : Base currency is Euro but the customer is in USA so his annual revenue should be in USD
currency should be displayed in () : Annual Revenue (USD)

I think it is a good idea to have this field in the base currency. It isn't a field that changes much nor upon which you will base much business logic, and if you do, it is better to have all the values in the same currency for reporting and statistics.
I'm not sure I would modify this. What do you think?

Hi,
I was taking the Annual revenue as a sample
but it should not be limited to this field , any currency field (type 71)
sometimes, you might need to have the amount in the original currency for reporting purpose
ex :
US company , we deal with them in USD
european companies , we deal with them in Euro
British companies, we deal with in Pound
....
in reporting, we need to show the amount in each currency for each company
for not breaking the current settings , i think creating a subtype of type 71 , say 711 and add the currency picklist near the text box for this type only

seems it's more complicated than thought
the currency is not saved in the table , only the value
need to find a way to save the currency also
