Write Off Currency Differences (tfacr2250m000)

Use this session to write off currency differences for outstanding invoices expressed in another currency.

The currency difference transaction is posted to the ledger account defined in the Ledger Accounts by Business Partner Group (tfacr0111m000) session for these types of transaction:

Unrealized Cur. Profit
Unrealized Cur. Loss

Note:

For invoices with receipt schedules and currency differences that are already posted at the invoice level, the unrealized currency differences are reversed and new unrealized currency difference amounts are calculated and posted based on the open amount for each schedule line.

The realized currency difference that results from the invoice amount being expressed in a currency other than that of the payment, is processed in the Bank Transactions (tfcmg2500m000) session. The currency difference produced by interim exchange rate fluctuations is posted in the Write Off Currency Differences (tfacr2250m000) session.

A currency profit is only posted if the Write Off Currency Profits check box is selected. Otherwise, only the currency losses are posted.

Currency losses are always posted as follows:

Debit: Unrealized Cur. Loss
Credit: Accounts Receivable

Note If the Write Off Currency Differences for Anticipated Receipts check box in the ACR Parameters (tfacr0100s000) session is selected, invoices with anticipated receipts are considered for writing off currency differences.

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

Note: If the Calculate Currency Difference if Non-Finalized Transactions exist check box is cleared in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session, to write off currency differences, all non-finalized transactions within the selected period must be finalized. If this checkbox is selected, LN can write off the currency differences (including non-finalized transactions) for the selected period.
