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.

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 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.

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 check box is selected, LN can write off the currency differences (including non-finalized transactions) for the selected period.
