Businesses working with multiple currencies in VTiger often run into limitations, where the currency can only set on a user level, while the currency should be set on the record level. At the moment, the multi currency is supported on Invoices, Quotes, Sales & Purchase Orders. However, that’s not sufficient in most cases, the businesses need to set currency for other modules as well as be able to view records in set currencies. One of our customers manages deposits, batches and invoices in multiple currencies. We added an option to set currency on a record level i.e batch or deposit. This allows user to see the proper currency set as well as report on it. The currency symbol is maintained on the record level as well as lists.
VTiger has an option to create custom picklist fields and define the values that go into that dropdown/picklist. The only downside is, that in order to remove dropdown value – you have to delete and replace it with something else. In many cases, this is not acceptable solution. For example, if you are selling certain type products i.e “Product Category” is “Hardware” and decide you no longer need the “Hardware” value – your only option is to delete it completely, which would update all existing products and clear or replace that value. This is just not acceptable. We built an option to retire picklist values by setting them “Inactive”, meaning that the value will remain on the record e.g product, however the users will no longer be able to select it in the dropdown nor will it show up anywhere else.
Record Numbering in VTiger is very limited. In Standard VTiger, you can only configure record numbers to have prefix and a sequence number. In most cases, this is not sufficient. We get a lot of requests to customize record numbering and add customer name as prefix, month, date or a custom field value. Here’s what we did for one of the customers: Prefix: SC (quote) or AFF (opportunities) (This never changes) Year : 18, 19, 20, etc.. (This is updated once a year on the 1st of January of each year, and we take the last two digits of the year. This is applied on both quotes and opportunities range numbering.) Month: 01, 02, 03, 04, etc .. (This is updated the 1st of every month, based on the numbering of the month within the year. Once a year, you will have the yearly and monthly change at the same time
