Hi Terence,

Yes most of the time it's easier to set 2 (or more) instances. I think it's why we don't have much use of currencies rate in OFBiz.
Maybe this link can convince you http://markmail.org/thread/lhq4sea2cthcm6cd

You may also want to set different prices with differents currencies, but this need to be maintained as OOTB there are currently no
mechanims to update a price from another (same product in another currency)

I'm working on the IBM POS printer issue right now, it's now connected thru RS232 (USB is another beast), right ?

Thanks for FireFox

Hi,

What is the suggested way to configure the system?
It is quite common that the headquarter is in U.S., and a Physical Retail
Store is in Europe.
Do I have to run two instances of Ofbiz for these two orgainzations, each
other with different default currency settings?

Regards,
Terence

I don't think so, this would be a major issue has some inconsistency would be introduced in the main data base. This would need 
something specific to allow conversion between. But here comes another difficulty : currencies exchange rates...
