5.Edit the Exchange Rate

Exchange rate refers to the value of a local currency with respect to a foreign currency. As there is always a change in the currency rate on a daily basis, this exchange rate correction becomes essential for shipments of goods.

This program is used to change the Exchange rate for an order on a current date based on the change in value of the foreign currency w.r.to local currency.

Exchange rate editing is allowed only for the order status change from Preconfirmation to Sales confirmation.

 

For Import, exchange rate edit is allowed for collect charge in foreign currency (only collect charges will be displayed)

Points to note:

 

1.Base currency exchange rate is always 1 and hence not editable.

2.Foreign currency exchange rate is editable.

3.The revised exchange rate will be updated in this exchange rate column, but the original charge record will remain unchanged.

4.For each exchange rate edit, one additional record for each charge codes will be inserted in the screen. This will be done based on the charge master.

For these newly inserted charges, currency will get inserted default as Company’s base currency. i.e From company setup, base currency will be referred and inserted.

These newly inserted charge codes will have amount as the difference between Revised Selling amount and the Original amount.

These newly inserted charges codes, has to get auto updated with original charge code against which this exchange difference got inserted. (Parent charge column in db)

The new charge codes to be inserted are identified from the charge code master.

Exchange difference charge code column will be available and each manifested charges for which exchange difference charge has to get calculated will be defined.

For an order having 3 charges - CHARGE 1, CHARGE 2 & CHARGE 3. If an user tries to change the exchange rate for CHARGE 1, system checks whether the CHARGE 1 has exchange difference charge code linked in the charge master. If not linked, the message ’Exchange difference charge code is not linked in charge master. Kindly Check’ will be displayed. For such charges, exchange rate cannot be changed as there will be no corresponding exchange charge code for auto insertion.

5.Only selling rate columns will change based on exchange rate update and selling base amount column will get recalculated.

6.After saving, the rate details will get updated against the order and the same charges will get synchronized with the manifest also.
