Auto Currency exchange rate

I have not mentioned conversion rate manually, is there any automatic system that fetches the conversion rates automatically of live basis?
I am getting following error:

ERPNext already uses frankfurter.app to pull live exchange rates which in turn uses data from European Central Bank.

Since the bank is not publishing rates for SAR, it is not being found by ERPNext at the moment.

$ curl https://frankfurter.app/latest

Output:

{"amount":1.0,"base":"EUR","date":"2019-08-20","rates":{"AUD":1.6347,"BGN":1.9558,"BRL":4.4959,"CAD":1.4762,"CHF":1.086,"CNY":7.818,"CZK":25.796,"DKK":7.456,"GBP":0.91623,"HKD":8.6868,"HRK":7.3838,"HUF":327.23,"IDR":15794,"ILS":3.902,"INR":79.441,"ISK":138.1,"JPY":117.79,"KRW":1337.78,"MXN":21.944,"MYR":4.6263,"NOK":9.9638,"NZD":1.7286,"PHP":57.964,"PLN":4.3552,"RON":4.7305,"RUB":73.836,"SEK":10.7653,"SGD":1.5351,"THB":34.086,"TRY":6.3328,"USD":1.1076,"ZAR":17.0117}}%

That’s what the error at the end is saying that it is unable to find the exchange rate for INR and SAR. You can manually set this in Currency Exchange.

thanks Kennethsequeira, is there a way to manage with SAR to get auto retrieve?

You will need to explore the way for that… meanwhile if we have any insights, we will revert back

I also need this and I think it will expand the area of potential ERPnext adopters to other countries with unsupported currencies.
There is an open PR which is unreviewed since 2 months which should fix the issue of unsupported currencies: feat: Increase number of supported currency exchanges by rtdany10 · Pull Request #25722 · frappe/erpnext · GitHub
I don’t have the experience and wonder what the reasons are, the PR doesn’t get merged. So far there is no response from core team or any reviewer.
(I am open to learn about the proper way to contribute/what the process of PR and its review are…)
