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.

Howdy, Stranger!
