Currently the exchange rate is taken from the exchange rate table using the invoice date. This new field is just to able to override that. I would like to set this exchange rate at the moment the payment comes in.
The payment and the invoice, at that point in time, have different currencies. The system will see that and will ask if the invoice should be fully applied or a part of it. If it is fully applied, the system can calculate the exchange rate and put that on the invoice so it will match the payment. I intend to convert the actual stored invoice to the 'home' currency. Because of the exchange rate the invoice will still show the correct foreign values. regards, Hans On Tue, 2008-09-09 at 09:08 +0200, Jacopo Cappellato wrote: > How is the exchange rate decided/set for a given invoice? > Is there a predefined rule (i.e. the invoice date) or it is a manual > process? > > Jacopo > > On Sep 9, 2008, at 8:10 AM, Hans Bakker wrote: > > > We have a requirement from the Thailand government that we have to do > > the complete accounting in Thai currency...nothing special most > > countries have that. > > > > However the Thai government wants us to use the actual exchange rate > > of > > the invoice, when the payment comes in, which can vary by invoice. > > > > So my question is, is there any objections if I add an exchange rate > > field to the invoice which overrides the value in the exchange rate > > table? > > > > In this way the invoice can be shown in the initial foreign currency > > and > > in local currency with the correct values. > > > > Regards, > > Hans > > > > -- > > Antwebsystems.com: Quality OFBiz services for competitive prices > > > -- Antwebsystems.com: Quality OFBiz services for competitive prices
