Internal Order and Exchange rate.

Question

Hi All,
System: SAP 4.6C
Payment is made in foreign currency CHF and debited to Internal Order (CIP); it was translated to Local currency USD as per that dayu2019s exchange rate.
When order settlement was made in following month, different exchange rate is taken by system and settlement was made to final object, leaving some balance in USD in the Order.
Balance amount was later nullified by entering a manual entry.
Is there any way how we can do the settlement of Order @ original exchange rate so that we won't have any balance in local currency in order?
Please share you inputs/Or if there is any OSS note to apply.
Regards
Ashok Prabhu

Dear Ashok,
there is an option in the configuration for F Exchange Rate.
i think your configuration is ok. But in your configuration you are using some G/L accounts for F Gain & F Loss.
Plz. check those G/L accounts (Master data) have post Automatically tick mark or not
in normal senario also it's happend in all cases.
Ex: 
Date       Cur.    Rate          Loc. Cur.      total
1.4.08     usd      40      x     100              4000  -at the time of invoice
1.5.08     usd      50      x     100              5000 - at the time of pay ment
when ever you trying to clear those invoice it's picking the rate from table 1.5. (if your clearning after 1.5.)
if you are select Automatic posting in your master data you can't find those deference.
i think in your case also same thing happend
