2492138 - Unable to Maintain Exchange Rate in Valid From Field

Symptom

When maintaining Exchange Rates, date and time in the Valid From field cannot be updated. Error message: "A data set XYZ, rate type Default Exchange Rate Type already exists - Adjust quotation date DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM UTC+n" is displayed on the screen.

(XYZ stands for the Data Set ID)

Environment

  2. Go to the Edit Exchange Rates View.
  3. Select Source and Target Currency.
  4. Change the Bid Rate.
  5. Click on Valid From field and Select the date and time.

The system displays the error message: 'A data set XYZ, rate type Default Exchange Rate Type already exists - Adjust quotation date DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM UTC+n'
