Conversion differences Function

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a query regarding the Conversion differences functions in SAP Business One but couldn't find any solid documentation.

What are the conditions to pick up and post Conversion differences?

Here is the example: I am on V9 PL 08

My local currency is GBP and System Currency is USD.

1. I have an invoice no 1 posted  on 11/06/2014 for £100 @ 1.25 exchange rate.

Scenario 1:

if I run the Conversion differences on 30/06/2014  @ 1.4,  the conversion difference picks up this open document and r posts the difference. Which is correct

Scenario 2:

2. if I have received the payment for that document on 04/07/2014 and run the Conversion differences on 30/06/2014  @ 1.4  the conversion difference ignores this document. is it because the document status is closed?

Scenario 3:

2. if I have received the payment ON ACCOUNT  12/06/2014 and run the Conversion differences on 30/06/2014  @ 1.4.  the conversion difference still ignores the open document. Any reason why? it is because the account balance is zero?

3. if I reconcile the ON ACCOUNT payment to document say invoice no 3 for £100 and run the Conversion differences on 30/06/2014  @ 1.4 the  conversion difference brings the open document invoice no 1 again?

Is this Standard? please let me know if the above is not clear

any advise on this will be helpful!!

Hi Mohan,

Scenario 2: It is because the date 04/07 is not subject to the conversion. It must be earlier than the conversion date.

Scenario 3: Please post those screenshots to show these 2 cases.

Hi Gordon,

Yes, I would think payment received on date after the conversion date should not be considered so it should bring the invoice but it is not. Please find the attached screen shot 'Scenario 2'

          Scenario 2: It is because the date 04/07 is not subject to the conversion. It must be earlier than the           conversion date.

Scenario 3 point 2:

Please let me know your thoughts?

The reason is: Payment on account will not be considered. It is not realized.
