Rel. 11: Cash Basis Accouning - can we create accounting entries for gain and loss when transfering
When payments are made in foreign currencies, the final payment amount is accounted in GL using the exchange rate at the time of the payment/reconciliation.
The government now requires that gain/loss in foreign payments are recorded as separate accounting entries in GL.
When I look in the Payables User’s guide, page 2-41, it states that “When you create accounting entries, Payables might also create entries for discount taken and foreign currency exchange gain and loss”. However, I cannot find any way to do this using Cash Basis Accounting.
Anyone have any ideas on how this can be done?
