1856889 - Exchange Rate Difference for Migrated Open Items

You migrated open invoice items, i.e. open items payable with a currency other than the company currency.
Therefore, in the migration template you maintain the transaction amount in the original currency, e.g. USD. Additionally, you maintain the company currency amount (e.g. EUR) according to the exchange rate on the day of the migration.
You then maintain a payment in the system with a company currency amount corresponding to the company currency amount of the migrated open invoice item.
Later you want to clear the open invoice item with a payment but the system displays an error message: Balance of -XX,XX EUR* clearing not possible.
You expected that the system uses the migrated exchange rate but it used the current exchange rate that is valid on the day of the clearing.
