How to Override Forex Rates while Importing Transactions

By | June 19, 2012

PROBLEM : I am importing AP/AR entries by means of standard Import functionality in Sage ERP X3 (GIMPOBJ). I have slightly altered the standard BIC/BIS template in order to have currency exchange rate available to force (SINVOICE.RATMLT / PINVOICE.RATMLT).
The problem I have is that regardless of what exchange rate is entered in the source import file, X3 will use the standard exchange rate table.
I tried to play with the “exchange rate type” field (CURTYP) in the template, but definitely I can’t force the Exchange Rate. I couldn’t find any general parameter in X3 which can change this behavior.

SOLUTION : The solution to the problem goes as mentioned below:
The RATMLT is a column in the table, if you look at the screen (BIS1) the Exchange Rate Multiplier is captured in RAT2 column.
To override the multiplier that is set by default based on the Exchange Rate table, you will need to write a specific process as below:
First Part:
——————————
$VERIF_CRE
## Section added by Sage Poland in order to force exchange rate from the file.
[M:BIC1]RAT2=[F:SIH]RATMLT
Second part:
——————————
## Section added to force exchange rate from the file BEGIN
$INICRE
[F:SIH]RATMLT=[M:BIC1]RAT2
Return
## Section added to force exchange rate from the file END
Have a wonderful Sage X3 day.
