Symptom
It's not clear what the purpose of the 'Absolute Exchange Rate' field is, as seen in apps such as 'Display Journal Entries'.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Cause
The difference between fields 'Absolute Exchange Rate' and 'Exchange Rate' is unclear.
Resolution
The 'Exchange Rate' field may contain a '/' symbol, meaning Indirect Quotation was used when converting currencies. The 'Absolute Exchange Rate' ignores the quotation used and only displays the absolute value of the exchange rate.
