Overwriting the currency exchange rate for a single transaction (For Purchase Invoice/Sales Invoice)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 55

Hi all,

I am trying to manually adjust currency exchange rates for a purchase invoice/sales invoice during a certain period (without the use of currency batch jobs or currency exchange rate service) , the first exchange rate should cover the exchange rate during the purchase(edit in purchase invoice) and during sales (edit in sales invoice),

Normally I am able to adjust the exchange rate manually on the invoice by going into "Invoice details" -> "Edit- change exchange rate", edit in the relational exch. rate amount box.

But now the box is locked and I am unable to edit this.

Wondering if it is a configuration/setup problem somewhere, below is a screenshot of the currency exchange rates list:

The final result should something like this:

Purchase invoice exchange rate: Euro to LCY: 1: 31.27. Sales invoice exchange rate: Euro to LCY: 1: 30.87

    You can not change the exchange rate for an already posted invoice you will have to do that before the invoice is posted.

    The batch job will only effect your balance accounts for A/R, A/P and bank.

    If you have used the incorrect exchange rate for your P&L accounts you will have to credit the transaction and redo it with the correct exchange rate.

    As Inge mentioned if the invoices are posted you cannot modify the rates.

    However, if the invoice is unposted, the reason you cannot modify the rates is because in the Fix Exchange Rate Amount field you have selected Both. Change this to either Currency or Relational Currency and you will be able to modify the Exchange Rate Amount or the Relational Exch. Rate Amount in the Edit - Change Exchange Rate Page again
