Purchase requisition workflow considering a wrong exchange rate type

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 188

Hello all,

I am facing this problem: I have a Polish company (so company currency is PLN) which is trying to buy from a vendor with currency USD. If you add an item, add the price and consult totals, there is a conversion to PLN as the line is in USD. The correct exchange rate type is considered, lets call it for the sake of the description exchange rate type name: YYY-YY-YY.

The problem starts when I submit to the workflow, there is an error in the workflow history: "Exception: An exchange rate cannot be found for exchange rate type XXX-XX-XX between currencies USD and PLN on exchange date 7/1"
 

I checked with the Finance team and the setup looks ok: ledger setup the correct exchange rate type is setup YYY-YY-YY. In budget control nothing is setup which explains this. So from where the workflow itself takes the exchange rate type?, we dont have developments which could explain this. I checked distributions as well and they look fine (correct amounts, ledger accounts, etc.). If I create a new requisition in test environment, same result, so it is not the requisition itself. Any hint would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Sirius,

    I haven't faced this issue myself before. Purchase requisitions are stored in a global table. At some point, maybe it takes the wrong exchange rate type. Have you checked the company for the exchange rate type in which the workflow processing batch job is running? This might be the DAT company. Do you know places where exchange rate type XXX-XX-XX is configured?

    Potentially, a developer can also start debugging in a non-production environment to check how this exchange rate type is retrieved.

    Hi Sirius,

    two things that comes on top of my mind:

    • the budget exchange rate type in the Ledger setup, did you check that is not the one giving problems? (and, since you are there, double check also the reporting (if any) and accountuing ones: 
    • If I am not wrong in the polish setup there is a “Fiscal exchange rate type” that is part of the localization (at least there was once), could that be the culprit? (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/finance/localizations/europe/emea-vat-exchange-rate ) I would be surprised because usually in the Purchase requisitions VAT is not considered, but localizations are particular

    Hope it helps

    Hello all, first of all, thans André and Paolo for your answers and time.

    Finally I have the reason. When a requisition is submitted into the workflow, if there are validations for money limits, and the requisition workflow is header level, the system takes the conversion from system parameters exchange rate type. It is not using local exchange rate type setup, it uses global setup it seems. FYI
