Error: A currency to convert from is required to retrieve exchange rate information.

 Error: A currency to convert from is required to retrieve exchange rate information in D365 FO when try to create a new Pending vendor invoice

Followed the steps suggested in some blogs, solutions such as Review the Currency Exchange rate, Delete some junk data, Review General ledger setup, etc. could not solve the error.

Finally, tried deleting Cache usage data in D365FO and it has worked like a charm.

Try the below steps:

1. Settings --> User options --> Usage data


2. Delete All the Usage data. I pre-assume there is a specific class for this error but I am not aware so I deleted all Usage data
