Thanks in advance and Regards,

Hi Vignesh,
Usually methods on the table Currency and the class ExchRateHelper are used to get details for the exchange rate conversions.
Hi Andre,
Thanks for your response.
Basically I am trying to find out the "default exchange rate type" which is involved in Foreign currency revaluation.
---> Class "LedgerExchAdj" is used to post the foreign currency revaluation.
Here, I am unable to find out where the default exchange rate type is being validated and no where class "ExchRateHelper" is used. Kindly help here.
Regards,
I suggest download thls white paper : Creating exchange rate providers for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Hi Vignesh R,
Foreign currency revaluation works on below principle which you can check if find helpful.
--- Revaluation happen based on what currency exchange rate type you selected in the Ledger form. You will find this form in 'General ledger' module.
--- Also; additionally if you add any specific currency exchange rate type in Main accounts form for any particular main account (in GL module), then system will override the currency exchange rate type what you selected in 'Ledger' form and foreign currency revaluation will be made based on this exchange rate type which you selected in 'Main accounts' form.
Which meas; unless you set any specific currency exchange rate type as default in main account form; system will always calculate revaluation based on the exchange rate type you selected in ledger form as default.

What is it that you are trying to do?
Do you want to use a different exchange rate type when running the foreign currency revaluation in GL?
Can you elaborate?

Hi Ludwig,
Do you want to use a different exchange rate type when running the foreign currency revaluation in GL? Yes.
I'm trying to achieve the same.
Kindly let me know about the same.
Thanks and regards,
Hi Vignesh R ,
In that case you have to set that exchange rate type in Main accounts form in those accounts for which you want to run revaluation based on a different exchange rate type as explained before.
Kindly mark this thread 'Yes' if this is answered your query which may help other community members in this forum.
Hi Sourav,
Wait a second.
Your screenprint refers to D365FO while this question is about AX2012.
To my knowledge AX2012 does not have the fields that you mentioned above available in the COA.
To revalue accounts based on a different exchange rate type in AX2012 is not possible to my knowledge except via a system modification.
Hi Ludwig Reinhard,
Thanks for highlighting. I had overlooked the forum title which is AX and not D365 :-)
Yes I just checked and seems this field is not available in AX. Might be customization is the last resort to do!
Yeah. Maybe there is a chance to downgrade this functionality because it is often asked for :-)
