Hi CL007080632-5,
This is a good observation, and it can definitely be confusing when exchange rate differences appear even though the invoice and payment dates are the same.
Possible causes include:
1. Exchange Rate Timing
Even if the dates match, the exchange rate used for the invoice and the payment might differ if:
- The rates were updated between the time the invoice was posted and the payment was made.
- The system uses different rate types (e.g., spot vs. average) for invoices and payments.
2. Currency Rounding Differences
Minor rounding differences in currency calculations can sometimes trigger small gains or losses, especially in high-volume or multi-currency environments.
3. Posting Date vs. Document Date
Ensure that both the posting date and document date are aligned. If they differ, the system might apply different exchange rates based on the posting date logic.
4. Manual Rate Overrides
If someone manually entered an exchange rate during either transaction, it could override the default rate and cause a discrepancy.
Let me know if you'd like help checking your exchange rate setup or journal configurations.
