The problem
By default, Odoo's currency conversion doesn't consider the banking factor. Users are forced to implicitly define a bank when entering exchange rates. However, this causes inconvenience when businesses transact in foreign currencies with different exchange rates at various banks. Foreign currency buying and selling activities also use different buying and selling rates at the same bank.
Key Features
This module provides the following features:
- The system allows users to enter bank data with more detailed and specific information, such as:
- Bank
- Exchange Rate Type: Buy, Sell, or Transfer
- Set Main Bank
- In Purchase, Sales, and Payment transactions, the system will determine the exchange rate based on the transaction date, exchange rate type, and transaction bank.
Benefits
- Ensures compliance with regulations regarding exchange rates and foreign currency accounting.
