Clarification Required on Handling Exchange Rate Variance Between PR and PO for Budgeting
We need clarification on the correct business practice and Oracle EBS behavior regarding exchange rate variance between a Purchase Requisition (PR) and a Purchase Order (PO) when both are created on different dates with different foreign currency exchange rates.
Example scenario:
- A PR was created on 1‑Jan‑2026 with a foreign currency exchange rate of 1.0 to the functional currency.
- A PO was later created on 2‑Jan‑2026 with an updated exchange rate of 1.1.
We need to understand the correct handling of this variance from a budgeting and forecasting perspective, specifically:
- Should the PO be recorded using the exchange rate of 2‑Jan‑2026, and the PR commitment be reversed while the PO obligation is reserved with the new amount?
