A very recurring first question in Business Central from end-users is "why I can't see the local currency when selecting the currency code in a transaction?"

It seems counter intuitive to leave this field blank since it requires explanation every time + the risk that end-users finally decide by themselves to add the local currency code in the list of currencies. It is also a constraint when master data is syncronized on companies working in multiple different currencies or when building API for Power BI.

It would be nicer I think to have the possibility to define the local currency directly in the Currency table (with a forced 1 to 1 exchange rate) and to flag it as local currency (and connect that with General Ledger Setup).

And then prevent any transaction from being posted without the currency code which would become mandatory and to make it possible to auto-populate the currency code (in master data and in transactions) which is defined as local currency.

Thank you
