I am a future user of ERP-LN, and a roadblock our team is encountering is that there seems to be no way to separate the FX rate to arrive at a sales price in local currency and the FX rate used to translate foreign currency revenue back to USD.

For example, if we create a default price book in USD, and if we create a "Pricing FX Rate" exchange rate type and set this FX rate type in the Sold-to Business Partner, then this will convert our USD price to the local currency price when selling to this Business Partner.

However, what unfortunately appears to happen is that the same exchange rate type is also used to book to the general ledger A/R instead of a Finance controlled FX rate.

Our "Pricing FX Rate" might be fixed for an extended period of time to stabilize local prices to customers. We will absorb FX rate risk for some time. However, we need to translate using a different market FX rate for booking to the general ledger when the transactions occur.

Is this possible to setup at all? Or is LN incapable of doing this and only one rate can be applied?
