View or amend exchange rates on credit notes

This tab is only visible if you have selected Use exchange rates when printing invoices and credit notes from Sales orders in SOP Settings.

To edit the exchange rate, you must have selected Edit exchange rates when printing invoices and credits in the Operational Settings tab in Accounting System Manager System Settings.

The currency and the type of exchange rate are taken from the customer account.

If the customer uses period exchange rates, the period exchange rate relevant to the invoice date is used. If no period exchange rate has been set up for the invoice date, the invoice uses the exchange rate set in the most recent period. If no period exchange rates have been set up, the exchange rate is automatically set to 1.000.

If the customer uses a single exchange rate, the exchange rate set in the exchange rate table is used.

If the exchange rate is Amendable, you can edit the exchange rate on this tab before printing the invoice. If the customer uses a single exchange rate, you can save the new rate to the exchange rate table when you print the invoice. If the customer uses a period exchange rate, the new rate is only applied to the invoices printed.

The exchange rate displayed or entered here is used to post the credit note to the sales ledger and the nominal ledger.
