3448097 - Bank-to-Bank Transfer Exchange Rate Maintained Not Used in Journal Entry Posting

Symptom

A Bank-To-Bank transfer is created in a different currency and exchange rate different from the one maintained in the system (General Ledger work center -> Common Tasks view -> Edit Exchange Rates sub view) is manually maintained.

When the Journal Entry posting is simulated, the system uses the rate maintained in Edit Exchange Rates to do the posting.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Cause

The system uses the exchange rates stored in the General Ledger work center -> Edit Exchange Rates view in the Journal Entry at the time of Bank-to-Bank transfer. However, the Exchange Rate manually maintained in a Bank-to-Bank Transfer is used during Bank Statement processing.

Resolution

This is a standard system behaviour.

The exchange rate derived in the journal entry for a bank-to-bank transfer (Journal Entry Type 00020 - Cash Transfer) will always come from the rates stored in the General Ledger work center -> Edit Exchange Rates view.
