How the 'exchange rate' field should be used?

Hello Lorenzo,

'Exchange Rate (Currency)' is totally new implementation for 6.1 and it's working fine.

'Exchange Rate(payment_rate)' is displayed the currency rate of invoice currency and voucher currency. I have attached video for this, So would you please check it.

I have described two different scenario in video. First is simple, Which is as normal (better to understand).

1st scenario:- I have created a invoice with CHF currency , then I have done a payment with EUR (through voucher).
Now we can see that the 'Exchange Rate' displayed '1.308600' which is exchange rate between Invoice currency (CHF) and voucher currency ( EUR Journal Currency ). Same as the payment rate currency.
We can also seen the difference amount as a 23.58 because 100EUR = 76.42 CHF .( So difference become 100-76.42=23.58)

2st scenario:- (Tricky) I have created a invoice with CHF currency. I have done payment with USD (thorough voucher).
See that 'Exchange Rate' displayed '1.018360' because it's calculated exchange rate between CHF and USD. (As per my configuration 1 CHF = 1.308600, 1 EUR= 1.2850 USD, So 1 CHF= 1.308600/1.2850 USD= 1.018360).
Now we can see 1.80 which is also proper based on calculation.

So all are working, Finally the aim of 'Exchange Rate(payment_rate)' field is it's displayed the rate difference between invoice currency and voucher currency.

That's why, this is not a bug and I am closing this issue.
Correct me If I am wrong!

Hope this will help.

Thanks for understanding!

If the aim is only to display the rate difference, why isn't it readonly?

PS: I don't think the aim is only to display the rate difference

Any news?

Really want to know how use it.... looks not functional...

The aim of this feature is to calculate & post journal entry automaticly using the voucher for the exchange rate difference (between the historical amount of the invoice and the amount at the payment date...both in company curr.)... in other words, posting the realized exchange rate difference.
And this is on the top of the possible write-of.
