Symptom
- Journal Entry Vouchers are posted using the default exchange rate instead of the maintained custom exchange rate type.
- When creating a journal entry voucher, the system defaults to an incorrect exchange rate of AA CNY instead of the correct of BB CNY.
- Note: AA CNY and BB CNY represent the amount values along with the currency.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the General Ledger work center.
- Navigate to the Journal Entry Vouchers view.
- Select New > Journal Entry Voucher.
- Enter the relevant Company, Set of Books ID and Transaction Currency.
- Observe that the Exchange Rate field displays AA CNY, instead of the correct BB CNY.
Cause
- Although the fine-tune activity Exchange Rate Types allows the creation of custom types, the logic behind depends on the business process or business object to support this feature.
- The system is designed to use the Default Exchange Rate Type for journal entry vouchers, regardless of custom configurations.
Resolution
- The system behavior is as designed, and the Default Exchange Rate Type is applied in journal entry vouchers.
- To view and maintain exchange rates, follow these steps:
- Go to the General Ledger work center.
- Under Common Tasks, click Edit Exchange Rates.
