This functionality is available in GP and Sunsystems so it is a huge gap for clients transferring over to Business Central. We've had to create a custom extension but would love it to be core product asap.

Need to have

This is a very important one! Especially for customers dealing with e.g. commodities and trading internationally.
And also if you do trades in different VAT Currencies.
We need this :)

Wonder will MS provide this improvement in coming version.

i agree with Dominik. We have to turn down prospects in commodities and trading. simply because GL does not capture original currency code and amount. Even suggested them to keep outside Business Central.
They could not revalue the account (Balance Sheet) based on Original Balances to reflect the latest exchange rates.

It would in fact be even better to show both the local currency code, the amount in local currency, the transaction currency and the amount in the transactions currency in all screens system-wide. E.g. also in sales invoices, purchase invoices, ...
My proposal is to use the suggestion of the original poster, but adopt it everywhere AND also show the local currency code (instead of leaving that blank).
We are working with foreign currencies for about 30% of our transactions and in any given selection or page view there could be a mix of different currencies. Very often the user would like to see the local currency amount equivalent on posted sales invoice lines and totals. Seeing both local and transaction currency for every document and transaction is useful and should not be a problem on screens with increased pixel real-estate.
If you switch between BC-companies with accounts in different currencies, the 'local currency' might not be immediately obvious for the user. It is better to always show that local currency instead of leaving the currency code field empty, as is now the case. (Or at least make it optional to show it when the user wants.)
