At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee started on a tepid note at This issue in combination with the fact that bank currency rates always differ from the official currency rates makes it impossible to anticipate the exact local currency LCY amount that is required to cover the invoice.
If the due date of the invoice extends to the next month, you might also have to revaluate the local currency LCY amount at the end of the month.
The currency adjustment is necessary because the new LCY value that is required to cover the invoice amount might be different, and the company debt to the vendor has potentially changed. The new LCY amount might be higher or lower than the previous amount and will therefore represent a gain or a loss. However, since the invoice has not been paid yet, the gain or loss is considered unrealized.
Later, the invoice is paid, and the bank has returned with the actual currency rate for the payment. It is not until now the realized gain or loss is calculated. This unrealized gain or loss is then reversed, and the realized gain or loss is posted instead. In the following example, an invoice is received on January 1 with the currency amount of At the time, the currency rate is 1. At the end of the month, a currency adjustment is performed where the adjustment currency rate has been set to 1.
At the time of payment, the actual currency rate registered on the bank transaction shows a currency rate of 1.
Here there is an unrealized transaction, and therefore it will be reversed together with the payment. The following table outlines key actions on the Currencies page. Some of the actions are explained in the next sections. The exchange rates are the tool to calculate the local currency value LCY of each currency transaction. The Exchange Rates page includes the following fields:. In general, the values of the Exchange Rate Amount and Relational Exchange Rate Amount fields are used as the default currency rate on all new receivables and payables documents that are created going forward.
The document is assigned the currency rate according to the current working date. The adjustment exchange rate amount or relational adjustment exchange rate amount will be used to update all open bank, receivables, or payables transactions.
Rate Amt. Because exchange rates fluctuate constantly, additional currency equivalents in your system must be adjusted periodically. If these adjustments are not done, amounts that have been converted from foreign or additional currencies and posted to the general ledger in LCY may be misleading. In addition, daily entries posted before a daily exchange rate is entered into application must be updated after the daily exchange rate information is entered.
The Adjust Exchange Rates batch job is used to manually adjust the exchange rates of posted customer, vendor, and bank account entries. You can use a service to update exchange rates in the system automatically. For more information, see To set up a currency exchange rate service.
However, this does not adjust exchange rates on already posted transactions. To update exchange rates on posted entries, use the Adjust Exchange Rates batch job. For customer and vendor accounts, the batch job adjusts the currency by using the exchange rate that is valid on the posting date that is specified in the batch job. The batch job calculates the differences for the individual currency balances and posts the amounts to the general ledger account that is specified in the Unrealized Gains Acc.
The batch job processes all open customer ledger entries and vendor ledger entries. If there is an exchange rate difference for an entry, the batch job creates a new detailed customer or vendor ledger entry, which reflects the adjusted amount on the customer or vendor ledger entry.
For bank accounts, the batch job adjusts the currency by using the exchange rate that is valid on the posting date specified in the batch job. The batch job calculates the differences for each bank account that has a currency code and posts the amounts to the general ledger account that is specified in the Realized Gains Acc.
Balancing entries are automatically posted to the general ledger bank accounts that are specified in the bank account posting groups. The batch job calculates one entry per currency per posting group. If you post in an additional reporting currency, you can have the batch job create new general ledger entries for currency adjustments between LCY and the additional reporting currency. The batch job calculates the differences for each general ledger entry and adjusts the general ledger entry depending on the contents of the Exchange Rate Adjustment field for each general ledger account.
Before you can use the batch job, you must enter the adjustment exchange rates that are used to adjust the foreign currency balances. The program supports use of multiple currencies. Within the program, your general ledger is set up using your local currency LCY , and another currency is set up as an additional currency, with a current exchange rate assigned. It is not a tool that can perform translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements as part of a company consolidation.
Because exchange rates fluctuate constantly, additional currency equivalents in your system must be adjusted periodically. If these adjustments are not done, amounts that have been converted from foreign or additional currencies and posted to the general ledger in LCY may be misleading.
In addition, daily entries posted before a daily exchange rate is entered into the program must be updated after the daily exchange rate information is entered. The Adjust Exchange Rates batch job is used to adjust the exchange rates of posted customer, vendor and bank account entries.
