Hello Belen,
To be sure that I understood your issue, let me try to share an example:
1. I created an Invoice in EUR 1000 with an Exchange Rate of 0.6458 so the Local Currency will be 645.80
2. Then I create a credit memo for this Invoice, however, the Exchange Rate has changed to 0,90, so in EUR the Credit Memo is still 1000 EUR and in the Local Currency I have now 900.00
3. With this scenario I will have the following entries in the Vendor Ledger Entries:
- Original Amount - This field shows the original value of the purchase document, so in both documents, the Original Amount is 1000 EUR. The amount is not updated by any subsequent application or exchange rate adjustment.
- Original Amt. (LCY) - This field shows the original value of the purchase document, in the local currency. In this field it is possible to have different values, because of the Exchange Rate, that is why we have the Amount 645,80 (Invoice) and 900.00 (Credit memo). The amount is not updated by any subsequent application or exchange rate adjustment.
- Amount – This field will present the Amount of the document in the Currency Code posted in the corresponding document.
- Amount (LCY) – It will show the actual Amount of the Document in the Local Currency. This field is a FlowField, so it can be updated due to the exchange rate adjustment or Realized Gain/Loss in this case, for example. This way, it will be possible to control correctly the balance of the Vendor.
In this example, the Amount (LCY) field shows the same value, because of the Realized Loss that the system posted and recognized when both documents are applied. What does this mean?
If you click in the Amount (LCY) files, you will see that a Realized has been posted, so the document can be closed and a loss has been recognized to the company, due to the exchange rate.
In summary, we can have different values in the Original Amount due to this scenario, this field is informative about the original amount of the document.
I hope that I understood correctly your question if not let me know.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Kind Regards,
Laeticia Cunha
