If a purchase order is entered in foreign currency, translation from foreign currency into local currency has already been carried out when the goods receipt is posted. If you enter the invoice for the purchase order in the foreign currency, it can lead to exchange rate differences between the goods receipt and the invoice receipt. When you enter the invoice, a warning message is displayed on the initial screen. You can override this warning message by pressing ENTER and then post the invoice.

In this case, the transaction is handled as a normal price variance:

• If the material is managed with a standard price, the variances are posted to an exchange rate difference account.
• If the material is managed with a moving average price, the stock account is debited or credited automatically.
