## How to Prevent Rate Division by Exchange Rate in Sales Orders?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to prevent the automatic division of item rates by the exchange rate while creating Sales Orders in Logic ERP. By enabling the **"Do Not Divide Rates with Exchange Rates"** option, the system retains the original item rate instead of recalculating it based on the selected exchange rate.
***
### Objective of This Feature
* Prevent automatic rate division by the exchange rate.
* Retain the original item rate during Sales Order entry.
* Ensure pricing consistency for foreign currency transactions.
* Eliminate unwanted rate recalculations.
* Provide greater control over exchange rate handling.
***
### Access to Sales Order Configuration
* Go to the **Sales Order** module.
* Click on **Configuration**.
* Select the required **Sales Order Configuration**.
* Locate the option labeled as:
> **"Do Not Divide Rates with Exchange Rates"**
* By default, this option is disabled.
***
### Observe the Default Behavior
* Create a new Sales Order.
* Select the required **Rate Conversion**.
* Proceed to the **Item Details** section.
* Enter or scan an item.
**Since the feature is disabled:**
* The system automatically divides the item rate according to the exchange rate defined in the selected Rate Conversion.
* The displayed item rate is recalculated based on the exchange rate.
***
### Enable the Feature
* Return to the **Sales Order Configuration**.
* Enable the option: **"Do Not Divide Rates with Exchange Rates"**
* Save the configuration.
#### Create a New Sales Order
* Click **New Order** to refresh the window.
* Select the same **Rate Conversion**.
* Proceed to the **Item Details** section.
* Enter or scan the same item.
**After enabling the feature:**
* The system no longer divides the item rate by the exchange rate.
* The original item rate is retained and applied exactly as entered.
* No automatic rate recalculation takes place.
***
### Key Benefits
* Maintains original item pricing.
* Prevents unintended rate adjustments.
* Improves pricing consistency in foreign currency transactions.
* Reduces manual corrections.
* Provides greater flexibility in exchange rate management.
***
### Best Practice Tips
* Enable this feature when item prices should remain fixed regardless of the selected exchange rate.
* Verify the selected Rate Conversion before creating Sales Orders.
* Review pricing policies to determine whether exchange rate-based calculations are required.
* Test the configuration after enabling it to ensure rates behave as expected.
***
### Final Outcome
When the **"Do Not Divide Rates with Exchange Rates"** option is enabled, Logic ERP retains the original item rate during Sales Order entry instead of automatically dividing it by the selected exchange rate. This ensures consistent pricing and gives businesses greater control over how exchange rates affect sales transactions.
