How can I specify an exchange rate on a Purchase Order rather than rely on the master file.

Posted on by Charlene 460

My client negotiates a different rate per Purchase Order (i.e. they buy forward) and they want to specify the exchange rate for the individual PO and then maintain that exchange rate throughout the PO cycle. As far as I know there is not a standard way of doing this; std ax fetches the exchange rate from the master file - this is a problem because they could have three different exchange rates in a day. Is there a way of overwriting the exchange rate fetched?

    You can use a "virtual" currency to maintain a fixed exchange rate negotiated with a vendor. But this will not help in case you have to post several invoices of the same vendor with the same invoice date but with different exchange rates.

    This is a peculiar product issue. I can't recollect whether AX2009 featured it the same way or not.

    There is a way to override the exchange rate to a fixed exchange rate at the PO invoice level (Header view, setup tab), however strangely same can't be fixed at the PO level.

    A small customization could be considered mimicking the way AX handles it for SO by creating a fixed exchange rate checkbox and value field, which would default the value to PO invoice level.

    Hi All ,

    Seems to be Ax is half baked product.

    My client has many one time customers of other countries and purchases the material .when the customer done the payment , client is expecting the option to enter the exchange rate on the customer payment journal directly, but even in AX 2012 also system does not allow to enter the exchange rate directly on the Customer payment journal.

    Is there a way of overwriting the exchange rate directly on the journal level ?
