Availability control for Currency Exchange rate Difference

857 Views

I have a problem relating to availability control for an internal order when a purchase order is raised in a foreign currency (Euros). My example is set out below. Availability control is set to error once you try to exceed the budget, and the budget is set up in GBP

Internal Order Set up with a budget of £1000.

Raise PO for Euro 1250

Exchange Rate - 0.8000 Euro to GBP

Value of PO - £1000

This appears as a commitment of £1000 against the Internal order.

When I goods receipt against the PO the exchange rate has now changed to 0.9000 Euro to GBP

It books in against the PO with no errors or warnings.

The result is an actual of £1125 against a budget of £1000 showing an adverse variance of £125 which should not be allowed because the availability control is set at £1000.

Does anyone know what I need to do to do availability control check when the goods receipt occurs, or if there is another way of stopping this from happening

Many thanks
