When revaluing transactions, the system reviews the outstanding invoices and credits, compares the transaction exchange rate against the current exchange rate and posts an exchange difference for the difference between the two. When taking payments as deposits the payment can remain outstanding for some time, but payments were not included when revaluing.This new feature allows the base currency payment value to be revalued.
In addition, when revaluing at a period end you may have transactions that have been allocated in the forward period. When you revalue the system takes the outstanding value as the basis for the revaluation – a forward exchange difference would have already been processed to realise any exchange difference. This however means that the Nominal Ledger difference is updated within the next period.
This new feature allows the option to create the revaluation based on the outstanding amount at the period end and, where necessary, any forward period exchange difference is reversed.
