Currency Rate Auto-Updates Module for OpenERP


This is a module developed at Smartmode for automatic currency updates from Yahoo.

Can be set to daily, weekly or monthly updates as required.

To setup:

  1. Ensure your currency codes are configured as per the ISO 4217. Example - CNY not RMB, KES, not KSH. Delete the ones that are with one or two characters.
  2. Ensure your main company currency is set as base with the rate of 1. Or with the standard instalation, locate the EUR currency and mark it as base.
  3. Install the module. Upon the first instaltion, the currency rates will get updated.
  4. Navigate to Administration > Configuration > Scheduler and find the currency rate updated from the cron list to adjust the time to suit.

The module will also keep a log of daily runs in the OpenERP res_log.

Please enquire if you require the same solution for multi-company environments with different functional currencies.
