It is true you cannot edit the exchange rate, but you can delete the wrong exchage rate and post it again as follows. To post a new and hopefully correct exchange rate you will need to delete all the ar/ap transactions (not only payments) using the wrong exchange rate. While deleting the last remaining transaction this will also delete the wrong exchange rate. Now you can add again the transactions and payments previously deleted. While adding the first transaction you can also add the correct exchange rate. The reason for this is that if you could edit the exchange rate then all the accounting transactions using the edited exchange rate will need to be found and reposted again.This also will modify posted accounting transactions on the system. >cheers, Rich. Hope this help to get around this trouble. I do not know if this will help for closing this bug.
