Included are objects which can be used on a particular site only separately, either as site-specific objects or as global objects. The following objects belong to this group:

 

•Tax classes

•Currencies

•Exchange rates

•Customers credit

•Order statuses

•Public statuses

•Internal statuses

•Invoice

 

1. If global settings for objects belonging to this group are used on the current site, only global objects are listed.

 

 

2. If global settings for objects belonging to this group are not used on the current site, only site-specific objects are listed. Besides, the Copy from global button is visible, enabling you to copy global settings for the given object.

 

 

On condition that a site-specific object with the same code name like a corresponding global object exists, the site-specific object is updated with global data if you are copying from global settings. If a site-specific object has no such counterpart among global objects, it is lost. However, providing there is no dependency on other objects in the system. If this is the case the object is only disabled but remains in the system.

 

Exchange rates

 

Only the following combinations of currency and exchange rate settings should be applied when configuring your online store:

 

•Site settings for currencies + site settings for exchange rates

•Global settings for currencies + global settings for exchange rates

•Global settings for currencies + site settings for exchange rates

 

Kentico CMS allows you to view prices in different currencies both in the user interface and on the live site. For this to be possible, one or two currency conversions are performed by the CMS system, based on your store configuration.

 

One currency conversion

 

One currency conversion from the main currency to other currencies, i.e. from the site main currency to other site currencies or from the global main currency to other global currencies, is performed. Only one table is displayed in the user interface.

 

This regards the following configurations:

 

•No price-related global objects (i.e. global products, global product options, global discount coupons or global taxes) are allowed on the current site.

•At least one type of such global objects is allowed and global settings for currencies are used on the current site.

•At least one type of such global objects is allowed and site settings for currencies are used on the current site. The global main currency and the site main currency are the same (i.e. both the currencies have the same code names). Please note that this does not apply if the price is converted from global currency XY to site currency XY and site currency XY is not the site main currency (regardless of the currencies' code names).

 

Two currency conversions

 

Two currency conversions are performed, the first from the global main currency to the site main currency and the latter from the site main currency to other site currencies. Two tables are displayed in the user interface.

 

This regards the following configuration:

 

•At least one type of price-related global objects is allowed and the site settings for currencies are used on the current site. The global main currency and the site main currency are not the same (i.e. the currencies do not have the same code names).
