Separate supplier offer lines quoted in different currencies

Keep currency-qualified totals and decide document currency under an explicit local rule.

Prepare the purchasing decision

Synthetic supplier offer has L1 ten units at HKD 20 and L2 two units at USD 15. Local PO policy permits one currency per document, so prepare separate drafts for the two currencies. No exchange rate or conversion is supplied. A bare combined total of 230 would have no valid currency meaning.

Complete the recorded outcome

  1. Read each line’s agreed currency and unit rate.
  2. Calculate totals within each currency.
  3. Prepare currency-specific drafts and review approvals in their stated currency.

A missing currency blocks pricing review; a currency symbol alone must not be guessed as HKD or USD.

What are the two draft totals?

Show the worked answer

HKD 200 and USD 30. They are two totals, not HKD 230, USD 230 or a converted value.

Amounts are fictional. The one-currency document rule is local and makes no accounting, exchange-rate or provider claim.
