[Bug 930222] Re: How the 'exchange rate' field should be used?

 

Hello Lorenzo,

'Exchange Rate (Currency)'   is totally new implementation for 6.1 and
it's working fine.

'Exchange Rate(payment_rate)' is displayed the currency rate of invoice
currency and voucher currency. I have attached video for this, So would
you please check it.

I have described two different scenario in video. First is simple, Which
is as normal (better to understand).

1st scenario:- I have created a invoice with CHF currency , then I have done a payment with EUR (through voucher).
Now we can see that the  'Exchange Rate' displayed '1.308600' which is exchange rate between Invoice currency (CHF) and voucher currency ( EUR Journal Currency ). Same as the payment rate currency.
We can also seen the difference amount as a 23.58 because 100EUR = 76.42 CHF .( So difference become 100-76.42=23.58)

2st scenario:- (Tricky) I have created a invoice with CHF currency. I have done payment with USD (thorough voucher).
See that 'Exchange Rate' displayed '1.018360' because it's calculated  exchange rate between CHF and USD.  (As per my configuration 1 CHF = 1.308600,  1 EUR= 1.2850 USD, So 1 CHF= 1.308600/1.2850 USD= 1.018360).
Now we can see 1.80 which is also proper based on calculation.

So all are working, Finally the aim of 'Exchange Rate(payment_rate)'
field is it's displayed the rate difference between invoice currency and
voucher currency.

That's why, this is not a bug and I am closing this issue.
Correct me If I am wrong!

Hope this will help.

Thanks for understanding!

Title:
  How the 'exchange rate' field should be used?

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  openobject-server/trunk revno 4039
  openobject-addons/trunk revno 6546

  Steps:

   - Create new journal 'Bank USD' with currency = USD
   - Create new invoice with currency = USD and one line with 'unit price' = 100
   - Create payment voucher without changing the defaults: 'paid amount' = 100 and allocation = '100'
   - Set 'exchange rate' to 0.75 EUR and validate the voucher

  Reading the field's help
  "The specific rate that will be used, in this voucher, between the selected currency (in 'Payment Rate Currency' field)  and the voucher currency"
  the selected currency is EUR and the voucher currency is USD, but the generated journal items have wrong amounts (see attachment).
  As I set 1 USD = 0.75 EUR, the bank journal item should contain debit = 75
