Is It Possible To Import Average Exchange Rates As A Recurring Batch Job?

Posted on by 216
Hi all,
 
I currently have batch jobs that can import daily and month end closing rates from OANDA. I have been struggling for years to find a way to automate importing a prior month average rate on the 1st of the following month.  The parameters dialog is pretty straightforward, allowing me to enter start and end dates, but I can't find any way to make them change Dynamically, pun intended. 

If I take the parameter setup shown below and manually run it on 1 Oct 2024, it will import a single average rate from 1 Sep 2024 to 30 Sep 2024, as I'd expect. But if I make it a recurring batch job, then when it runs on 1 Nov, it will once again import a value from the September date range. I have preconfigured dynamic date ranges set up that work in other areas of D365, such as the Trial Balance, but they aren't a selection option here. I'm stumped as to how I can make my date range change when the month changes when the batch job triggers. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    Hi Steve,
    That is not possible out of the box. I have done a lot of work with the batch job behind the exchange rate providers quite recently.
     
    You will have to make a customization or implement a version that automatically can change the date.

    Does OANDA give you access to an API? I would recommend using power automate instead as it would be much more flexible.  We handle all of our FX rates with Power Automate and the XE.com api
