Calculate Actual Cost Rate in APP Actual Cost Rate Calculation - Cost Centers or in APP Schedule Overhead Accounting Job for Actual Cost Rates Calculation.
After the calculation, query which Currency Exchange Rate is used to convert CO Area Currency to other currencies.

Cause

The conversion takes place with the Exchange Rate Type 'M' and the last day of the period for the conversion date.

Resolution

In APP Currency Exchange Rates, enter Exchange Rate Type 'M' and the relevant Period.
The Currency Exchange Rate which is valid on the Last day of this Period is the one using in the currency conversion.

Actual Cost Rate can be either manually created or can be updated by Actual Cost Rate Calculation in APP Manage Cost Rates - Actual.

The manual Cost Rates are converted to other currencies when they are used for postings, for example for internal activity postings.
