3558645 - Journal Entry Voucher Cannot Be Posted for Cash in Foreign Currency

When attempting to post a Manual Journal Entry Voucher for cash in a foreign currency, an error message is displayed. The error states:

"Exchange rate must not be provided"

"Entry currency Euro should be the same as local currency XYZ of set of books ABC. Please check for incorrect add-on implementation."

The issue occurs when the transaction currency is converted to EUR, and all relevant information is entered for a bank account. Despite this, the system issues an error message indicating that the currency CHF must be used for Set of Books ABC. However, the local currency does not automatically change to CHF and remains set to EUR.

(XYZ represents local currency)

(ABC represents the set of books)

(EUR represents Euro)

(CHF represents Swiss franc)

Note: In this scenario, EUR and CHF are used as examples to describe the issue.

The cause of the issue lies in the process of creating a Manual Journal Entry Voucher of type Cash to adjust the monetary value of a bank account or Petty Cash.

The bank account or Petty Cash involved can be in any currency, whether it matches the company's currency or is different. However, when posting a Journal Entry Voucher of this type, the Transaction Currency field must be set to the company's currency. Additionally, the bank account or Petty Cash being debited or credited can only be in a currency for which an exchange rate is available in the system. 

Ensure that the Transaction Currency field is set as the company's currency when posting a Journal Entry Voucher of Cash type.

Verify that the bank account or Petty Cash being debited/credited has the correct currency, with the necessary exchange rate available in the system.
