Document Rate Type Rules

These are the two special considerations for Document Rate Type:

• Rule 1 - When a document is copied (Copy Posted Document) or Reversed (Reverse Posted Document) using the same Copy to Document or Reversed Document ID as the source document, the system is creating an adjusting entry to an existing invoice which constitutes a settling transaction for Multicurrency. If the Use Original Effective Date option is selected, the system does a reversal without recording gain/loss. Therefore, the carrying rate on the new adjusting document updates from the existing document record and is not editable. The editable (Current) exchange rate of the Copy to/Reversed document also updates from the source document and overrides the exchange rate normally updated, had the new document been created without using the Copy/Reverse Posted Document feature. Under the same circumstances, if the Use Original Effective Date option is not selected, and the date is changed, the system considers exchange gains and losses with this transaction and the editable (Current) exchange rate of the Copy to/Reversed Document updates based on the new effective date specified and the Rate Type and Currency of the current session.
• Rule 2 - When a document is copied (Copy Posted Document) or Reversed (Reverse Posted Document) using a Copy to Document and Reversed Document ID that is different than the source document, this is a new document that does not constitute a settling transaction. As long as the Original Effective date is used, the Exchange Rate used in the source document will be used. If the effective date is changed, the rate for the new document will be updated normally, based on the current session Rate Type and the new effective date.
