Hi all,

The company local currency is GBP.

The invoice currency is EUR.

The rate has been setup.

However I cannot change the 'exchange rate amount' for this particular invoice. I've tried it in both purchase invoice and general journal, but also cannot change it.

Is there other way to change an exchange rate for a specific purchase invoice / general journal?

In the Currencies > Exch. Rates page change the Fix Exchange Rate Amount field from Relational Currency to Currency and then you'll be able to change it in purchase invoice and general journal.

Hello,

In BC this depends on the Fix Exchange Rate Amount setting on the currency exchange rate line: if it is set to fix the Exchange Rate Amount, then you won’t be allowed to edit that field on the invoice/journal exchange-rate popup, and you normally change the other side of the rate instead, usually Relational Exch. Rate Amount; if you want users to override the rate on a specific invoice/journal, go to Currencies → Exchange Rates for EUR and check/change the Fix Exchange Rate Amount value, then enter the required rate on the document before posting. Also note that this only affects the document you are posting; posted entries are not simply edited later—you would normally reverse/correct or use exchange-rate adjustment/payment posting for gains/losses.
