This question has been flagged

Our parent company has historically engaged in currency hedging and currently holds a forward forex currency contract for all of our EURO transactions at a fixed rate of 1.05 Euros per US Dollar.

In configuring Odoo, is there a way to freeze the rates for a specific currency, so that every transaction is booked at this rate all year?

Our corporate accounting system was customized to do this, so I understand this may also be required if we were to use Odoo.

A simple approach that may work is to create an Automation Rule that intercepts the rates created by our Automatic Currency Rates feature.

Normally these rates are automatically updated (ie: daily) but a rule such as this can modify the updated rate to force it to be fixed:


You would then see that each daily rate ends up being stored at the fixed rate:


Although each transaction in Odoo uses the "latest" rate in the system, it will always be the same until you archive or edit the Automation Rule:


Be sure to set the domain properly on your rule to just act on the EUR rates.
