The Exchange Rates need to be available when importing Payable or Receivable batches

This was a suggestion received from the client as logged on Netadmin Incident: HD16264705 = Corporate Computing

When we import a list of invoices in foreign currency through the payable and / or receivable batches, the rate of exchange need to be inserted manually. This is a long procedure and would not make sense to upload a batch as it takes less time inputting invoices one by one.

Business Process involved:

We receive a list of invoices from supplier on excel including date of invoice, invoice number and amount in foreign currency. We add account number, account name and project code and import batch. Exchange rates are already in Sage Evolution however the amount in our local currency which is in Euro remains blank. Once we re enter the date for all transactions manually, then the exchange rate picks up correctly.
