Demo video: Foreign Trade & Logistics Currency Rate
Problem
The Currency rate by bank module allows
setting Exchange rate types when declaring the bank rate. Rate Type includes Buy Rate, Sell Rate, Tax
Rate (also known as Transfer Rate) if you install the Foreign Trade, Logistics.
However, when creating the Import Customs Clearance Request (Customs Request), the system does not distinguish between Exchange Rate Types. It automatically takes the exchange rate generated at the earliest in the Request Date of the request.
This approach can lead to a difference in the value of goods, taxable value compared to the transfer payment value.
 
Solution
This module adheres to the configured Transfer Rate, thereby ensuring accurate currency conversions when creating the Clearance Request.

Instruction
Instruction video: Foreign Trade & Logistics Currency Rate
This module helps to apply the Transfer Rate when creating the Customs Clearance Request for both export and import transactions. In this article, we will show you how to use it when importing goods.
Setting up Foreign Exchange Rates
Navigate to Accounting > Configuration > Currencies, select the currency that the business needs to convert according to the exchange rate (For example, the enterprise is recording its accounting books in VND and needs to transact with a partner using the USD). Then press the Active button to activate the currency and make declare the bank rate (Buy rate, Sell rate, Daily transfer rate).
 
Setting Main Bank
Navigate to Settings > Accounting, find the Currencies area and select Main Bank which is the one that declared the foreign exchange rate above.
 
Create the Customs Clearance Request
Navigate to Foreign Trade > Customs Clearance Document > Import Customs Clearance Request, press Create to create Customs Clearance Request.
At this time, the Currency Rate of the request is Transfer Rate you set up earlier. In case you declare the transfer rate for many days, the system will take the transfer rate in the past day closest to the Request Date of the Customs Clearance Request.
