# Fishbowl: "Vendor currency locked after orders"

> A vendor's currency cannot be changed once purchase orders have been created for that vendor.

## What it means
Fishbowl blocks changes to a vendor's currency once purchase orders have been recorded for that vendor. This prevents the system from having orders in one currency while the vendor record shows a different one.

## What to check
- The vendor has existing purchase orders (review the vendor's Purchase Order history or filter the PO list to this vendor).
- You're attempting to edit the Currency field on the vendor record.
- If you need a different currency for future orders, consider creating a new vendor record with the desired currency instead of modifying the existing vendor.
