Exchange Rate Billing documents

Question

Dear Friends,
In SAP billing process; I am facing the problem with the exchange rate. as the rates picked in the sales order as default exchange rates maintained for the day; if the sales order is MTO and goods will dispatched after 2 months and within these 2 month the exchange rate got floated by a large amount and during the billing with VF01 t-code; the exchange rate will be something else; and I canu2019t change it at that instance also.
The billing document will be posted to the accounting after getting the money from the customer and the exchange rate will become something else at this moment also; and make a large difference of amount at this instance. Is there is any provision in sap system so that I can change the exchange rate in the billing document and with this same exchange rate I can post the entries in accounting also. It will solve the problem as it will give me the billing amount in exact LC amount also.
Please provide the solution for the same.

Good Afternoon,
In the billing document there are 3 exchange rates, please review:
- VBRP-KURSK
  Exchange Rate for the conversion Loc.currency <-> Doc.currency.
  for Price Determination
  The determination of this exchange rate depends on the setting
  of TVCPFLP-PFKUR in customizing copy-control
- VBRK-KURRF.
  Exchange Rate for the conversion Loc.currency <-> Doc.currency.
  for FI postings
  If there is a manual entry in the sales order field VBKD-KURRF
  (Goto -> Header -> Accounting), then it is copied into VBRK-KURRF.
  Otherwise VBRK-KURRF is determined during invoice creation.
  It is supposed that manual entry has higher priority.
  See the OSS note 36070.
- KOMV-KKURS
  Exchange Rate for the conversion Cond.currency <-> Loc.currency
  at price condition level.
  It is always determined according to the Pricing date.
  See the OSS notes 92613, 97487.
During VF01 the system determines the Exchange rate for FI posting
VBRK-KURRF from the currency tables according(OB08) to the billing date
only if the field Exchange rate for FI posting is empty in the
source sales document (VBKD-KURRF).
If the sales document has this field filled, manually or copied from
a reference invoice (by copy control routine), then it is copied
in the subsequent billing document. This is the standard working
of the system.
The exchange rate should be based on your configuration in copy control
(VTFA or VTFL) at the item category level.  The choices you have are as
follows:
Pricing Exhange Rate Type (V_TVCPFLP-PFKUR)
A  Copy from sales order
B  Price exchange rate = Accouting rate
C  Exchange rate determination according to billing date
D  Exchange rate determination according to pricing date
E  Exchange rate determination according to current date
F  Exch.rate determination accord.to date of services rendered
I hope you find this information very helpful and hopefully it will solve your problem.
