Agreed. This will tie up that "loose end". Rather than having "undefined behavior" (for multiple
currencies), we should at least let users know that their virtual products' currencies count and
the related variants' don't. Or better yet, prevent users from using a different currency for
variants.

Hmm. In OO sense, it doesn't make sense that virtuals have a price even. However, in
user-interface sense, users would want to have a "standard price" set for all variants, for ease
of use if for nothing else.
Hence, I can see why some users might want to tie currency/price to virtuals.
Well, at least we share/discuss what we know so that others can grab our info and enhance OFBiz,
though we ourselves have no time to fix this issue. :P

I think David's point about supporting multiple currencies is valid, ie OFBiz
should operate that
way. It'll be nice to be able to use different currencies for different
variants (eg. some sold in
some countries but not in others).
Yes I totally agree.
However, I strongly suspect that's not exactly how it works now.
I agree too. Yes for the moment people wanting to deal with multiple currencies
create a store by currency, I guess.
Let me know if anyone needs me to
help in research; my current project doesn't handle more than 1 currency... yet.
I would create a Jira issue for this. This is not a priority for me either. And
I suspect that it may be a large task to do. So
that's why I was asking myself, in a principe of reality, if we should not, for
the moment, restrict variants currencies to their
virtual's.
A sticky issue: which currency/price takes precedence, variant or virtual? I'd
say variant prices
should override virtual.
Yes variants should override. But has this a sense ? Because virtuals are never
used as product, they are abstract (in Oriented
Object sense). So I wonder if having a currency different for virtual and
variants have a sense. Having variants with different
currencies is another problem...
Thanks for your thoughts

The point is to support prices in multiple currencies simultaneously...

Finally after my apologies I thought a bit about this. Should we
not restrict variants currency to the one set in virtual ? Because
even if someone set variants prices to another currency it will not
be used. And this can fool an user as I have been.
What do you think ?
Jacques
Sorry,
I used euro and not dollar for variant prices. So yes, you are
right Jacopo and sorry

AFAIK there are no specific prices for variants. If you set a
price for a variants this will have no effect. The price set
for
the
virtual product will be used.
I'm pretty sure that the variant price is used if set, it will
appear as
soon as you add the variant to the cart.
I tested it before by creating a default price for WG-9943-B3 and
it was not applied but the virtual price was applied. BTW the
virtual had also Competitive and List Prices. So I just tested by
adding Competitive and List Prices to the variant WG-9943-B3
same
result.
Am'I missing something here, promotions, prices rules ?
