Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the General Ledger work center.
- Go to the Journal entries sub view.
- Search of the relevant Journal entries of Supplier invoice 'ABC' and Warehouse Confirmation 'DEF'.
- And check the Currency conversion date as well as the Exchange rates.
- 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.
