My setup: CiviCRM 5.18.3 on Drupal 7.

I created a Contribution batch. At transactions I chose two transactions of difference currencies e.g. HKD and USD and Assign them to a batch. Then I no longer be able to retrieve the list of batches because of fatal error: Dialog: DataTables warning: table id=crm-batch-selector-2 - Ajax error. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/7

In ConfigAndLog there are lines produced e.g. CRM_Core_Exception .... Invalid currency "HKD,USD" blah blah.....

Even I cancel the offending transaction it does not help. I had to delete the transaction in that batch to revive the batch's functioning.

Please kindly advise.

Best Regards,

I copied this from ConfigAndLog, because no on-screen backtrace is shown even I enabled backtrace at System setting.

  • Did this work previously? I know contribution batches have been reworked recently. Also - please add the full error and backtrace to your question, it helps folks to diagnose the problem!

  • More info: If I put the expected amount for the batch, the error appears as soon as I assign a contribution of a different currency. If I leave the expected amount empty, the error appears when I close the batch. Then I am no longer able to retrieve a list of closed batch.

  • @Jon G megaphone. I am still evaluating so no prior working history. But I first encountered this problem with version 5.17.4. Then I upgraded to the latest 5.18.3 just to see the same problem still there.

I believe the standard workflow for accounting requires a single currency per batch. At least that was all that we aimed to support. Please create an issue at lab.civicrm.org indicating that there should be a 'friendly' error message preventing transactions that have a different currency from ones already in the batch from being added. This should include an error in case of an attempt to simultaneously add transactions in more than one currency.

  • Thanks, @KLeeHK. I've assigned the issue to myself, but I'm not sure when I will be able to prioritize it. Cheers.
