Currently updating or modifying the exchange rate during MIRO is currently not supported. This behavior is intentional and designed to ensure document consistency across the integrated process flow. Allowing an exchange rate change at this stage could lead to discrepancies in subsequent or related documents, such as the freight cost allocation document, thereby compromising financial and logistical data integrity. For this reason, the system restricts such changes by design to maintain consistency and audit reliability.

As an alternative approach, we recommend manually posting the exchange rate difference as a variance amount during MIRO while creating the supplier or carrier invoice. This method ensures that the financial impact of the exchange rate fluctuation is accurately captured without disrupting the consistency of the underlying logistics and freight cost documents. This approach provides a controlled and compliant way to handle exchange rate differences while preserving system integrity.
