If the exchange rate field has not been initialized yet (like in insert mode), find the applicable rate as follows:

Find the first currency rate whereby the effectivity date is the same or earlier than Invoice Date. If found, this rate is used as the default. If no applicable rate can be found, then the default is set from the currency's default rate.

For invoices coming from the Sales module, the exchange rate will affect only the valuation of non-item charges. Sales valuation of stock items will use the exchange rate specified in the invoice from the sales module.
