Using rate determiners For the standard currency system, you can only use Document Date and Manually Entered. LN uses the rate that is valid on the date and time on which the documents are created.

By default, LN uses the rate that is valid on the date and time on which the documents are created. The Manually Entered rate determiner applies to all types of transactions. If the goods are not yet delivered, LN uses the rate that is valid on the order date. However, if this order date is in the past, LN uses the rate that is valid on the current date. If the goods are delivered, LN uses the rate that is valid on the actual delivery date. The Delivery Date rate determiner only applies to sales orders, service orders, and sales invoices. You cannot manually change the rate. LN uses the rate that is valid on the date and time on which you expect to receive the goods. The Receipt Date rate determiner only applies to purchase orders and purchase invoices. You cannot manually change the rate. LN uses the rate that is valid on the date and time at which payment of the sales invoice or purchase invoice is expected.
