Description

Method

Select the method to use for the foreign currency revaluation:

  • Standard – Foreign currency revaluations are posted regardless of whether the result is a profit or a loss.

  • Minimum – Foreign currency revaluations are posted only if the result is a loss.

  • Invoice date – Foreign currency revaluations use the original exchange rate of the transactions, which are revalued to their original value in the accounting currency. The effect of any prior foreign currency revaluation is canceled.

    You might use this selection if you are preparing to convert your legal entity to use a different accounting currency or reporting currency. For more information, see Prepare a legal entity for a currency conversion.

Considered date

Select the date when all transactions that have open (not settled) amounts on that date will be found. Foreign currency amounts are revalued with the exchange rates that are entered in the Currency exchange rates form for the considered date.

Important

When foreign currency amounts are revalued on a considered date, this date becomes the last foreign currency revaluation date for the transactions that are revalued. For example, you revalue foreign currency amounts for a considered date that is earlier than the last foreign currency revaluation date. In this case, the transactions that are open on the considered date, but that have a recent last foreign currency revaluation date, are not adjusted by the periodic job. Therefore, the last foreign currency revaluation date is not updated when you revalue foreign currency amounts for a single transaction, but only when you run the vendor foreign currency revaluation periodic job.

Date of rate

The date that determines the exchange rate that is used in the foreign currency revaluation. If this field is blank, the exchange rate that applies to the considered date is used in the foreign currency revaluation.

Note

If you revalue foreign currency amounts, and you later change the exchange rate in the Currency exchange rates form, this change is not reflected in foreign currency revaluation transactions that have already been posted.
