Multi-currency Exchange Rate Variance Recording Problem between PO Receipt and Voucher Match

In document ID 625458.1 - E1: 40: Multi-currency in Distribution the following statement is made in the Purchase Order Process section; “At voucher match, if there is a currency variance from the time of receipt, the system will update the Item Ledger in order to adjust the new value to the inventory; therefore it will be a document type PV with no quantities but only variance amounts. This will be done for all the costing methods, with the exception of the Standard costing method (07) and Purchasing costing method (08)."

 

This is causing us problems in our G/L to Cardex/Item Availability reconciliation.  If we use cost method 07 and we point the 4340 AAI to the inventory balance sheet account the exchange rate variance amount is booked to the G/L inventory balance but not the Cardex, causing an G/L ton Inventory out of balance.  If we use cost method 02 and point the 4340 AAI to an exchange rate expense account the variance is booked to the Cardex but not the related G/L inventory account, again causing a G/L to Inventory out of balance.
