Unrealized Gain

Enter the account number to be used for unrealized gains in currency due to changing exchange rates. The entered Unrealized Gain account number must exist in the Chart of Accounts.

Note: This field maintains a G/L account number. The account number you enter in this field must be a valid account number in the Chart of Accounts.

The field works in combination with the Currency Revaluation Report. When you run that utility, you can choose to realize gain/loss; if you do not, the currency gain or loss is posted to the unrealized account. The amount in this account accrues until the utility is set to post to the realized accounts.
