# Journal Vouchers — Auto-Fill Exchange Rate

> Journal vouchers now auto-fill the exchange rate field when a foreign currency is selected, using the current system rate to reduce manual entry and rate errors.

Journal vouchers now auto-fill the exchange rate field when a foreign currency is selected, using the current system rate.

### **Business Value**

* Prevents exchange rate entry errors on foreign-currency journal vouchers
* Speeds up JV creation by auto-filling the current system rate
* Reduces the risk of posting at an incorrect rate
* Keeps the rate editable so users can override when a specific rate applies

### **Use Cases**

* Accountant selects EUR on a new journal voucher — the exchange rate fills automatically from the system rate, saving manual lookup.
* Finance manager overrides the auto-filled rate for a negotiated rate — the field remains fully editable.
* GL team creates multiple foreign-currency JVs — each one auto-fills the correct current rate, eliminating repetitive manual input.

### **How It Works**

| **Where:** Back Office → General Ledger → Journal Vouchers |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- |

1. Open or create a journal voucher.
2. Select a foreign currency from the currency field.
3. The exchange rate field automatically populates with the current system exchange rate configured for that currency.
4. Review the auto-filled rate. Edit the value directly if a different rate applies.
5. Proceed with creating or posting the journal voucher as usual.

On each line, the **Currency** field sets the line's currency, and the **Exchange factor** field holds the rate auto-filled from the current system rate.
