How to handle foreign currency transactions in AP so that there is minimal impact on revaluation
Hi,
Need to understand how to handle day to day foreign currency transactions in AP so that there is minimal impact on revaluation.
For e.g, AP invoice in Foreign currency
Expense a/c Dr
AP Liability a/c Cr
Payment for this invoice
AP Liability a/c Dr
Bank Account Cr
We revalue our balance sheet accounts every month, so in above case AP liability gets knocked off and bank account has credit balance in foreign currency. This keeps on getting accumulated every month and keeps getting revalued. To handle this, business users reverse this foreign currency balances transaction wise and pass equivalent local currency entries. Its a lot of manual efforts.
