Overriding Default Exchange Rate in D365 F&O Orders

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 249
Hi everyone, 
I would like to change the exchange rate directly on the purchase or sales order, rather than using the exchange rates already configured in the general ledger module.
Is it possible to do this in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations? Thank you in advance

    Hi,
     
    There is no exchange rate on any orders. When you post an invoice, you need to post it in the accounting (company) currency. If your invoice\purchase order is not in the accounting currency, then the exchange rate is used for the posting date on the invoice.
     
    You can change the currency and the exchange rate here, however, this is only possible BEFORE you enter any lines. So you need to change it and then link it to a PO.
     
     
     
     

    Kind regards, Adis

    Hi JA-15041016-0,
     
    To add to what Adis said, if you apply the exchange rate at the purchase order or the sales order invoice but this exchange rate will be applicable for all the lines in the invoice (purchase or sales invoice) so in case if you happen to add more lines or partially invoice then you will still have the existing fixed exchange rate applicable. 
     
    In Sales order header and purchase order headers you can define fixed exchange rate but it is applicable at the reporting currency. Considering the requirement in hand, you can determine whether to use reporting currency amount or accounting currency amount.
     
    Recommendation is to use the general ledger based exchange rates to make it easier to manage exchange rates. Hope this helps.

    To add something here.
     
    There is no exchange rate on the purchase order header, only on the sales order header.

    Kind regards, Adis
