Identify Billings and Payables that need to be unposted and reposted

Currency Conversion Rate software correction for Multi-currency Customers

Important: The information in this section is only applicable if you are using Multi-currency.

On Multi-currency orgs, when a Currency Conversion Rate with more than two decimal places (for example, 0.878550) was being used, the posted transactions were generated using a rounded conversion rate. This issue has been resolved so that posted transactions generate using the actual user-defined Currency Conversion Rate.

In order to locate Billings and Payables that will need to be unposted and reposted because the amounts are incorrect due to rounding on the conversion rate, follow the steps below.  

1. Navigate to Accounting Home and verify that you are on the Winter ’25 release, Version 3.304 by hovering over the Winter ’25 Release icon.
