A currency to convert to is required to retrieve exchange rate information.

Hi everyone. 

I'm importing General Journals to Dynamics AX 2012R3 with DIXF.

after importing when trying to open the lines an error shows "A currency to convert to is required to retrieve exchange rate information."

when i checked i found out that all lines have the "Calculation Method" wrong. it should be " SAR - SAR "

we can't adjust this field during import.

    Hi,

    Why do you need a SAR-SAR calculation method?

    Isn't this a single currency?

    Can you please provide some additional information on the currency issue and the exchange rates used?

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    when we add new line manually the calculation method will be SAR-SAR.

    this is generated by the system,

    yes, it's a single currency, but yet i got this error only when import the GL.

    Hi,

    Does the import work with any other currency than SAR or do you receive the same error message all the time?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    I found out that the issue was from the imported file.

    we have more than 5 digit after the decimal mark.
