When the currency for an account is set to Swiss Franc, the invoice total amount is preceded by the letters 'SwF' which is completely wrong.  It should be preceded by the letters 'CHF' which is the correct currency code for the Swiss Franc.  This confuses customs and logistics companies.  This needs to be corrected.image

    Well spotted Nick!

    CH     [Confoederatio Helvetica] (mail, internet, cars)
    CHF = modern 3-character-abbreviation for Swiss Franc (Swiss currency),
         corresponding to USD for the US Dollar
       while the traditional / everyday abbreviation for the Swiss Franc is Fr.
         (as you can see on coins of values ? Fr., 1 Fr., 2 Fr. and 5 Fr.)
         corresponding to $.
