3633768 - Different exchange rates on the same day for Supplier invoice and Warehouse Confirmation (Goods Receipt from Supplier)

Symptom

  • System has different exchange rates of USD to VND on the same day.
  • Supplier invoice 'ABC' with the Currency Conversion date 01.01.2000 has the exchange rate as 25,965
  • Warehouse Confirmation 'DEF' (Goods Receipt from Supplier) with the Currency Conversion date 01.01.2000 has the exchange rate as 25,955.

'ABC' refers to the Supplier Invoice ID.
'DEF' refers to the Warehouse Confirmation ID.
Note: Dates and Exchange rate values are for example reference purposes.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to the Journal entries sub view.
  3. Search of the relevant Journal entries of Supplier invoice 'ABC' and Warehouse Confirmation 'DEF'.
  4. And check the Currency conversion date as well as the Exchange rates.
  5. Observe different exchange rates on the same day 01.01.2000.

Cause

Supplier-Invoice 'ABC' has been posted on 05.01.2000, which has been checked and validated through the backend itself. But there was no entry for the exchange-Rate conversion for USD to VND(Company-Currency) on 05.01.2025. Hence system has picked latest available valid from Exchange-Rate with dated as 03.05.2025 as 25.965.

And same thing happened with Warehouse Confirmation 'DEF' (Goods Receipt from Supplier) that has posted on 02.01.2000.
But since there is no exchange-Rate conversion entry on 02.01.2000 valid-from, so system has picked-up latest available Exchange-rate for date 01.02.2000 (valid-from) as 25.955.
 

Resolution

This is the expected system behavior as per the configuration.
