In F-63, there is a checkbox "Only transfer amnts in document curr. invoice", may I know what is the purpose of this checkbox & under what circumstances we will use this checkbox.

"Only transfer amounts in document curr. in invoice"

If we sets this indicator it translates the doc. currency into local currency at the time of parked document.

If we not set this indicator it translates the doc. currency into local currency when posting of document.

Eg: We are parking a document with doc. currency in USD @40- the next day we are posted that document then it is @42- the system takes the exchange rate from the header which was specified in the parked document @40- only. If we not set this indicator it will take at the time of posting of document @42-
