Why can't I use non-base currency for Intercompany Purchase Orders?

Hi there!

Our companies main operations is in the UK, we purchase and manufacture goods from our China subsidiary and sell them to our various subsidiaries across Africa.

As we're in the process of building our platform for NetSuite, we've just come across the error where NetSuite is blocking us from billing out intercompany Sales Orders and Purchase orders in USD as it is not the default currency for either Subsidiary.

Is there a way around this? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

We've thought about creating an intermediary subsidiary that is in the UK but operates in USD simply for the purpose of getting around this. But that sounds like a lot of trouble and I'm also not sure if that would contribute to our number of Country/Currency licenses which we are capped at.
