In this activity you define the numbers of the accounts to which you want the system to automatically post realized exchange rate differences when clearing open items.
In clearing open items, the system posts any realized gains or losses (realized exchange rate differences). You therefore need to define gain and loss accounts.
To automatically post exchange rate differences when clearing open items, you have to specify the reconciliation accounts for customers and vendors in the "G/L account" field. If, for example, you want to clear a foreign currency open item on the debit side, you have to enter a receivables account in the "G/L account" field.
To automatically post exchange rate differences when clearing bank sub-accounts, you have to enter the numbers of the bank sub-accounts in the "G/L account" field.
Note
In this activity you can also define the accounts for valuating open items. You can, however, also define these accounts once you set the parameters for closing procedures. To do this, refer to the activity "Prepare Automatic Postings for Foreign Currency Valuation" in the Implementation Guide for General Ledger Accounting. What is most important in this activity is that you define accounts for realized exchange rate differences. Otherwise, you cannot post items in foreign currency.
You can define accounts for each type of currency. The system will then post exchange rate gains or losses from each currency to separate accounts. Once you make the first valuation run, you cannot change your accounts for valuation postings. Otherwise, you will not be able to reverse valuation postings.
Activities
- Enter the account numbers for the required accounts.
- Make sure that the accounts are created prior to posting.
