System message - Base document exchange rate cannot be used

[Former Member]

Hi!

I need an Information ... when I use the function "Copy From" i get the Draft Document Wizard where i set "Use Exchange Rate from Base Document." But when I select "Finish" I get the following system message: "Basic Document Exchange rates can not be used, the rows will be updated using the exchange rate target document.

Why??

Hi,

You can check for Notes 1026976 and 1448970 and see if the same relates to the query asked by you.

Kind Regards,

Dear,

The system give the message because draft document can be saved at different exchange rate that the current exchange rate you are entering documents, that's why it gives message to use the Target document exchange rate.

For e.g let the exchange rate be 50 when you added the draft and exchange rate changes to 55 .

Hope this will help you.

thanks,

Maybe I was not very clear ...my source document is a Sales Order (not a draft document). When I try to create a Delivery using the "Copy From", in the Draft Document Wizard i set the "Use Exchange Rate from Base Document." flag. But when i select "Finish" I get the system message "Basic Document Exchange rates can not be used, the rows will be updated using the exchange rate target document." and the exchange rate is updated to the current one. I would use for the Delivery the same Sales Order exchange rate.

Why???

Dear,

Are you creating sales order and delivery document on same date.

No...

[former_member206488]

that's why it is giving error ,because when you created the sales order exchange rate is different then the exchange rate you are creating delivery document.

Hi

at the sales front

the exchange rate should be always as per the Posting date this is standard, how ever if you wish you can manually overwrite the defined exchange rate

at the purchase side you define the system wether you want the exchange rate to be from based document or as per the posting date in choose Administration - System Initialization - Document Settings -> Exchange rate base date (A/P documents)

hope i made my point
