Currency Conversion realized gain distribution

Summary:

Currency conversion realized gain is being logged as DT rather than CT. This is causing double data on our PO account.

EX

We are in CAD

PO is 1000 USD with rate USD to CAD at 2.00 so 2000$ CAD

When it is invoiced, the exchange rate is now 1.5

The 1000$ USD invoice is now 1500$ CAD

Because the invoice is now 500$ CAD cheaper than at PO creation, this amount is credited on the PO's GL (13097).

The problem is that when we transfer that amount to our Realized Gain Distribution, it is entered as a debit for gain and credit for loss.

This is causing doubled values for the PO's GL (13097)

Howdy, Stranger!
