Im operating with US dollars and Argentine Pesos, the difference rate between the two currencies is very high and constantly changing, i had a customer that had some positive balance in his account (registered in AR Pesos), and i want to use that balance to pay the remaining amount of a sales invoice (Registered in US dollars), i enabled the configuration that allows me to pay a bill in one currency with a different currency, but when i apply the receipts to the invoice, a percentage of the money from the receipts that form the customer's positive balance get sent to a exchange difference account.
I need for the entirety of the positive balance, as expressed in pesos, to be applied to the invoice, since this bills are from initial balance, i cant just replace them with a new one and use the same date as the invoice, i had tought that using a payment in pesos would negate the need for an exchange difference account to be used, but it seems that the system will still look for the nearest exchange rate set in the system based on the date of the receipt and calculate the difference with the exchange rate of the invoice, regardless of wheter or not the receipt is in dollars or pesos.
So far i havent found a way to disable the exchange rate calculation or for a way to go around it, so any help would be appreciated, i hope that this explanation is clear enough, as english is not my first language.
Right, but the invoice in dollars has a defined value in pesos (amount of dollars multiplied by the exchange rate defined when the invoice was registered) so if i have 300 pesos as positive balance in the clients account, and an invoice registered in dollars and worth 298 pesos when converted, i would think i should be able to pay the invoice with the positive balance.
Any time that you deal with a currency other than your local company currency, there will be an exchange rate calculation. If you think about paying USD invoices with Pesos, you cannot paid without an exchange rate difference as one dollars does not equal one peso.
