Holding Rate Revaluation

Holding Rate Revaluation

Should a management decision be taken to alter a holding rate, then a holding rate revaluation can be done. This is usually undertaken at month end and the following steps are typical:

Alter the holding rates via the Currency Maintenance options.

Run a holding rate revaluation without updating the file, so that the effect of the change can be viewed.

When satisfied with the effect, re-run the revaluation selecting the option to update the files.

Run the remainder of the period end processes.

For each account the transactions are analysed one-by-one, and any outstanding invoices or credits are revalued to the new holding rate (unless the transaction is marked as having a fixed exchange rate). The transaction is updated by updating the base currency ‘allocated’ value with the gain/loss caused by updating the exchange rate with the new holding rate and, if not previously revalued, updating the original rate with the previous exchange rate. A holding-rate revaluation analysis record (type "7”) is written for each changed account with the base currency exchange difference value.

The pre-run parameters for the revaluation routines, whether holding or spot rate, follow the same processes.

Report Which Currencies

Leaving this as ALL process all the transactions for each account in account code order by currency, giving totals per account, per currency and overall. By specifying a particular currency then only the accounts and transactions for that currency are processed.

If you reply ALL then you are asked which currency to start with.

Report Only Where Exchange Differences

The purposes of this question is to allow you to report on all transactions outstanding, thus giving you a ledger balance per currency, or to report only those transactions where an exchange difference will result.
