NSC | Updating the Date on an Existing Expense Report Causes Exchange Rate Error (Scenario 2)
Scenario 2:
User cannot update or change the date on an existing expense report and encounters the error:
“Exchange rate cannot be changed on an existing Expense Report.”
Findings and Explanation
When the user updates the Date field on an existing Expense Report, NetSuite automatically evaluates the exchange rate associated with the new transaction date.
Because exchange rates are date-dependent, changing the transaction date may result in a different effective exchange rate. If the newly calculated rate differs from the original rate stored on the transaction, NetSuite prevents the update and displays the error:
“Exchange rate cannot be changed on an existing Expense Report.”
