  • Display exchange rate from journal/source document instead of a reverse-calculated one from transaction currency amount and accounting currency amount on printed ledger voucher

    Currently, the exchange rate that is displayed on a printed ledger voucher (and Chinese ledger voucher) is reverse-calculated using the following formula: Accounting currency amount/Transaction currency amount.


    Although this may appear correct, it may actually differ from the exchange rate in the exchange rate master and the one that was initially used in the journal or source document eg. free text invoice.


    Due to the currency rounding settings in D365, the accounting currency amount will change slightly after multiplying by the exchange rate.

    Hence, if you reverse calculate the rate using the formula above, it may not be equal.

    This is apparently visible when there are auto-posted sales tax entries too. The exchange rate in the journal voucher lines differ for each line due to the rounding settings even though they should actually be the same.


    Our users would like to see the original exchange rate that was used in the master and in the journal/source document for reporting purposes and for consistency of the exchange rate values in the journal voucher lines.


    Previously, Microsoft agreed to a fix where the exchange rate factor was wrong. However, they did not agree to displaying a rate from the journal. We would like to suggest this improvement.
