Error description

• PROBLEM:
  When a material transfer is made between storerooms that are in
  different organizations, the exchange rate is not applied
  correctly.
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1)  Go to Organizations application and bring up EAGLENA
  More Actions > Inventory. Options > Inventory Costs
  Site BEDFORD under Issue Cost select FIFO Cost
  So pick up EAGLEUK
  More Actions > Inventory. Options > Inventory Costs
  Site WOKING under Issue Cost select Average Cost
  2) Go to Exchange Rates application and make sure that for each
  of the organizations (EAGLENA and EAGLEUK) there is a created
  exchange rate.
  From Currency: GBP
  To currency: USD
  Rate: 2.00
  From Currency: USD
  To currency: GBP
  Rate: 0.50
  3) Make sure WOKING site has a valid financial period and a
  storeroom
  4) Go to Item Master application and create a new item
  add this item to Central Storeroom (Bedford site) and the
  Woking site storeroom
  for both storerooms add
  Balance: 10
  Cost: 10
  5) Go to Inventory Usage application and create new Usage
  Type: TRANSFER
  From Storeroom: CENTRAL
  New Row
  Add item created above
  Quantity 1
  Under Transfer Details
  To Site: WOKING
  To Storeroom: Woking's storeroom
  Save
  6) Change Usage to Shipped status
  7) In the any database tools run the follow:
  SELECT * FROM MATRECTRANS WHERE ITEMNUM = 'item_created_above'
  CURRENCYUNITCOST and CURRENCYLINECOST will have 10
  8) In the Default Information change your profile:
  Default Insert Site: WOKING
  9) Go to Shipment Receiving application and bring up the usage
  record created above
  Under Shipment Receipts, click on Select Shipped Items
  select the item
  OK
  Save
  RESULTS: After run the query SELECT * FROM MATRECTRANS WHERE
  ITEMNUM = 'item_created_above' the CURRENCYUNITCOST and
  CURRENCYLINECOST columns still remain with 10 where Issuetype =
  SHIPRECEIPT
  The exchange rate has not been applied
  EXPECTED RESULTS: The exchange rate should be applied on these
  fields.
  NOTE:
  If you do the same test but now creating an usage record from
  WOKING site and then receiving this shipment in the BEDFORD
  site, the exchange rate works.
