• The way the currency conversion / exchange rate is determined in the invoice volume report is different from the financial documents or reports. In this case, in the invoice volume report, the system determines the exchange rate based on the time of creation of the invoice, and uses the exchange rate that is active at this moment in time to calculate exchange rate from EUR into HUF.
• The invoice in our example was created on the 14th Oct and the exchange rate that was valid at this time is 350,52. So the total of the invoice in HUF is 641.592,00 HUF.
• In the Invoice Volume Report the specific time used for the exchange rate is 00:00:00 UTC. In case the exchange rate has changed on the 14th of Oct at 4:00:00 UTC, the exchange rate before the change will be considered for the Invoice Volume Report.
• However, in financials, the exchange rate is determined based on posting date. In this case, the posting date for the invoice is the 30th Sep. The exchange rate valid on the 30th Sep is 309,15. Thus, in the Journal Entry, the total of the invoice in HUF is 2100 * 309,15=649.215,00 HUF.
• Additionally, the sales reporting and financial reporting are different since they are using different methodologies. The Invoice Volume report as such has no effect on the financial part.

This is the designed system behavior.
