Write Off Currency Differences (tfacp2240m000)

Use this session to write off currency differences on open invoice amounts resulting from currency exchange rate fluctuations between the invoice currency and the home currency.

The currency differences for the transaction kinds Unrealized Currency Profit and Unrealized Currency Loss are posted to the ledger account defined in the Accounts by Financial BP Group (tfacp0110m100) session.

A currency profit is only posted if the Currency Profits check box in the ACP Parameters (tfacp0100m000) session is selected. Otherwise, LN will post only the currency losses.

Currency losses are posted in the following way:

  • Debit: Unrealized Currency Loss
  • Credit: Accounts Payable

The Currency Difference Anticipated Payments field in the ACP Parameters (tfacp0100m000) session controls whether invoices with anticipated payments are considered for writing off currency differences.

Unrealized currency differences are reversed as soon as the invoice is actually paid.
