In this step you define the numbers of the accounts to which realized exchange rate differences are posted automatically when clearing open items.

When clearing open items, the system posts realized gains or losses (realized exchange rate differences). You therefore define expense accounts and revenue accounts.

Note

You can also define the accounts for valuating open items in this step. You can, however, also still set these accounts when making the specifications for the closing procedures. For more information on this, refer to the "Prepare automatic postings for foreign currency valuation" chapter in the General Ledger Accounting Implementation Guide. In this step, what mainly matters is that you define the accounts for the realized exchange rate differences. Otherwise you cannot post in foreign currency.

You can differentiate the accounts by currency. Exchange rate gains and exchange rate losses are then posted to separate accounts for the individual currencies. You may no longer change your accounts for the valuation posting after the first valuation run. Otherwise valuation postings can no longer be cancelled.

Activities

  1. Enter the account numbers for the accounts mentioned.
  2. Make sure that the accounts are created before starting to post.
