Thanks for looking into this.

We experience the problem when creating manual financial booking entries
in the journals (i.e. General Ledger).

If we create a booking entry using the Amount Currency Field and a
foreign Currency, the system calculates Debit/Credit bookings
automatically. For this particular calculation OpenERP always uses the
latest Exchange Rate no matter in what the booking date is.

Bug description:
It looks like OpenERP can not manage to choose the correct historical currency exchange rate. If we create a booking entry por a past date, the system will always use the latest exchange rate for this currency instead of using the currency rate for this period. 
This is not acceptable.

Background:
We have a multi-currency setup of OpenERP with two foreign currencies. We are updating the exchange rate every month so we have a clean currency history. There are cases when we have to enter bookings for a past date/period using the historical exchange rates in the system. This simply does not work.
 
Please confirm this bug.
