Correct the Valuation Difference without triggering exchange gain/loss

Posted on by 16,150 Super User 2026 Season 1

In Business Central, the user made an advance payment to an import vendor in the previous financial year at an exchange rate of 1 EUR = 107.130 INR.

In the current financial year, the goods were received and the purchase invoice was posted, but due to an error, the invoice was recorded at an exchange rate of 1 EUR = 109.05 INR instead of using the advance payment rate (as required under the Income Tax Act).

Now:

  • The material has already been received and fully consumed

  • A Purchase Credit Memo is not feasible

  • The posted purchase invoice (PPI) cannot be cancelled or corrected due to import transaction constraints

  • Any adjustment entry triggers realized gain/loss, which is incorrect, because the payment was already made in advance

  • Posting a manual INR adjustment entry cannot be properly applied to vendor ledger entries


The requirement is to correct the valuation difference without triggering exchange gain/loss and while maintaining proper application and audit compliance.

    Why wouldn't you want to recognise and exchange gain/loss, if there is a timing difference between payment and invoice this is a standard accounting transaction and correctly reflects the situation.
     
    You could post a refund at the previous exchange rate and then re-post the payment at the exchange rate desired, application of the re-posted payment will then not generate any gain/loss
