Cdates in exchange rates

jannestig

Does anyone know of any reason why Cdates are not allowed to be entered as an exchange rate date?

The answer can be divided in 2 parts:
a) Technical: Starting Date field in T330 (Currency Exchange Rate) have property "ClosingDates" as No.
b) Functional: Closing date vouchers are meant for transfer of Income Statement balances to Balance Sheet "Retained Earning Account" and should not be used for any other purpose including Exchange Rate adjustment.

Thanks Singala, i thought there would be logic like this as well, depending what version we are working with
Cdates can be added to the end of months in the GB version this is enhanced further with their period localisation.

My main thought was mostly for using Cdates for Month end exchange rates, In this case the customer has valid reason for using 31st type date
with 2 different rates EG month avg and Month closing.

I Will reset the flag and test for the impact on year end, i imagine for a month secanrio the impact should be minimal.
