Exchange rates

Goal

Maintain FX rates used when posting foreign-currency documents.

Who it is for

Accounting clerks/managers with accounting.view (manage needs accounting.manage).

Preconditions

• Base currency is set on the tenant.
• From/to currencies exist in the currency catalogue.

Steps — maintain rates

1. Open Accounting → Exchange Rates (/exchange-rates).
2. New: choose from/to currency, rate, and as-of date.
3. Save. Use edit/delete on the list when correcting mistakes.

Result

Transactions look up rates by date (with fallback rules). Missing rates fail the transaction rather than guessing.

Hard stops

• Missing rate for the document date → posting/document create fails.
• Rates on already posted journals are not rewritten when you edit the table later.
