I have a USD currency setup in the system and the latest rate has an 'Effective From' date of the 01-Sep-19. I now want to set a new rate effective from today. There are two options: Add next rate period and Add Rate period. If I choose Add Next rate period then the effective date defaults to the 01-Oct-19, and I can't change it. If I select Add Rate Period it allows me to select an effective date but also enforces an end date.
The Add Rate Period seems like the option I need, but I don't want to set an end date. So my questions are:
1. What if I set an end date and don't add a rate after that end date.....what rate will the system use after the end date?
2. If I want to add another rate before the end date of the previous date, will it override the end date of the previous rate?
Also as a suggestion could an end date be shown on the Exchange reates Screen?

Hello Jeremy,
You should use the "Add Rate Period" button and select the same month in both the From and Till dropdowns:
This will create one period starting from 1st of March, 2020 and this exchange rate will be used until you add a later exchange rate.
Just to clarify, choosing a different Till date would result in multiple periods created.
