Agreed.
The lack of support for multiple exchange rates is the only frustration I have with SL.
We do credit card and bank draft purchases and they have different exchanges.

We are forced to make sure we don't do bank drafts on the same day as credit card purchases so that the exchange rate is right.
The additional problem is that, the credit card companies don't know the rate until they post the transaction at the end of the day.
This causes problems with foreign currency  purchase orders, because when the order is created, we have no idea what the exchange at the end of the
day will be.
We have be creating the purchase orders with no item value, then going back the next day and entering the prices when we know the exchange rate.

it would be nice if it was possible to just enter an exchange rate when you actually pay for something (not on the orders)
Of course this would remove the ability for the foreign exchange gain/loss calculation.
