Foreign Currency Exchange - Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

Can someone explain to me how Business Central can be set-up to calculate realized foreign currency gains/losses with respect to the LCY? If my business central is linked to an app that sends over let's say a sales invoice in USD and my LCY is SGD, how can I set-up BC to calculate the realized currency gain/loss? Does the app have to send over an exchange rate too? Or can the exchange rate in BC be set-up manually/based on exchange rates showed on an official government website? I hope someone can advise. Thank You.

    I see many people in the thread who started discussing trading, is that the only way to earn money online? I don't think so. Actually many friends who are traders are losing money now since it is a bear market now.

    OMG, are you serious??People have been using it for years. The very meaning of the method is very simple: you just copy the strategies of successful traders and earn money in this way. By the way, I'm using this method now. Before I did, I had a big period of setbacks. But then one of my friends told me that I could make a profit using a social fbs trader app that allows you to make a profit by copying the deals of the best experts, and it worked. Now I am a successful trader. Now I am thinking about creating my own strategy using elements of other trader's strategies.

    Hi,

    To set up the currency you need to search for “Currencies”, the system will open a new page and you need to insert all the currency that you will work, and the respective account that the system will post on Gain or Losses.

    And then, you have two options, to set up the exchange rates:

    1. Manually: Set up Exch. Rates, on the ribbon Actions > Exch. Rates

    2. Automatically: Set up Currency Exchange Rates, on the ribbon Exchange Rate Service > Exchange Rate Services

    Here a step by step to help you with more detail how to use the currencies on Business Central:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../

    With this setup you are able to post an invoice with other currency, you just need to guarantee the follow situation:

    1. The system will use the currency set up for the date of the invoice

    2. The system will automatically post the realized gain or loss when you will apply the document on the date of the applied.

    3. If you have open entries, you can use the job Adjust Exchange Rate, to update the currencies unrealized gain or loss. Find below all the step necessary:
