Exchange rate type against main account do not apply to subledger transactions

Hi,

Apparently, when you setup a different exchange rate type against the main account than the one you specified on the ledger:

It does take precedence when revaluation is run in the GL - so main accounts are revalued at the main account exchange rate type

But it doesn't when revaluation is run the subledgers - subledger transactions are revalued at the type defined against the ledger

Could anyone confirm if this is how D365 behaves now, please? Very difficult to make a modification to change the logic and if a different exchange rate type is defined against a main account that holds a subledger, the subledger transactions are also revalued at that exchange rate type?

Thank you very much in advance

hello caps lock,

next time please use the dynamics 365 forum unless you have a question that is related to the old AX version.

I'm currently traveling and can't move this thread to those new forums. would be great if you could do that.

many thanks

about your issue:

why would you run a foreign currency revaluation from GL for accounts used in your subledger?

Hi Ludwig,

I would not do that. Revaluation for subledger transactions will be run from the subledgers. What I'm trying to achieve is that if in the summary account for that subledger I have defined a different exchange rate type than the one defined on the ledger, I want that exchange rate type to be used for the subledger revaluation. The summary account will not be included in the GL revaluation.

Does it make more sense now? Please let me know if it doesn't and I will rephrase my question. Thank you again!

I took out the tag for AX current version. Regarding the forum I see the post already in Dynamics 365 Finance forum. Is it correct? Thanks!

ah i see.

in short: you want the exchange rate type from your ledger account being used when running the revaluation in the subledger, right?

to my knowledge this is currently not supported.

you can possibly create an idea on the dynamics ideas /experience portal to make MS aware that this is needed.

best regards

ludwig
