APPLIES TO:

GOAL

While creating Receipts, the receipt dates could be set to an earlier date. 

There is no manual/user intervention on that.

Because of this the currency conversion for the receipts is using the rate from the wrong date.

Can the currency rate be changed for such receipts?

SOLUTION

This is intended functionality.

From Purchasing User's Guide (page-7-40):
If the Invoice Match Option on the purchase order shipment is Purchase Order, the default is the purchase order creation date, and user cannot change it. 
If the Invoice Match Option is Receipt, the default is today's date. 
User can change the Rate Date to one that better captures the cost of the item at the appropriate exchange.

This is not an issue that occurred as a result of a bug in the application. Its purely user's error, hence no datafix cannot be provided. 
If the application would be creating receipts with a different rate than that of the user entered rate (in receipt), then Development would provide a datafix.
