|
|
This activity facilitates you in reinstatement of foreign currency balance of the customer. The currency revaluation would be with respect to the base currency. The foreign currency balance must be reinstated at the end of financial year or financial period. This is required to ensure the Supplier balances reflect the true figures as on the date of the financial period or financial year statements (Balance sheet/ Profit & Loss statement). All the assets, liabilities and capital, which are in currencies other than, base currency, are affected by exchange rate fluctuation. This will result in increase or decrease in the balance. This activity allows you to reinstate of all foreign currency customer control accounts. Each time a revaluation is run, a separate revaluation journal voucher is generated. This voucher is of Reversal type that is the voucher is automatically reversed on the first date of the succeeding financial period. This is required to ensure, the balances reflect. The effect of revaluation done with respect to base currency is also reflected in parallel base currency balance, if available for the company. The exchange gain/loss will be posted into the respective finance books.
The differences arising out of exchange rate reinstatement would be debited or credited to exchange rate revaluation gain/loss account. The exchange rate revaluation gain /loss account is retrieved from the “Account Rule definition” business component. The system updates the status of the voucher to “Authorized” on revaluating the customer balance. The system generates a unique number for the voucher and the reversal voucher. The system updates the login ID of the user to the created by and the system date to the created date. The system automatically reverses the voucher passed during the revaluation period, in the immediate open financial period to arrive at the exact picture of exchange gain loss. This is required as the exchange gain or loss recorded is only on account of translation. This being a notional amount is reversed in the subsequent financial period to arrive at the true balances.
