I encountered a business case related to how to default the currency and charges code lines in the Purchase order line to avoid mistakes when users input manually.
Then, I have found a good way to handle this scenario. That is to use Automatic Charges.
Let's discover how it works together.
In my scenario, I will apply default maintain charges on Purchase order lines (the function could apply to both Purchase order header and Purchase order lines).
