Settlement of foreign currency bookings on a GL account

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi guys,

We're running into an issue with our AX software and I was hoping someone has some valuable input for me.

The issue is as follows: we have many current accounts with other (sister)companies where many foreign currency bookings are posted. These bookings are posted on date X with rateX and are to be settled against a payment on date Y with rateY. Since there is a difference in those rates there will be a exchange rate profit or loss based on the amount and the difference between rateX and rateY. From what I've understood this is not an issue for bookings on a customer/vendor sub ledger, but how does this work for other GL accounts? If I use the ledger settlements module from 'General Ledger > Periodic > Ledger Settlements' it will not settle the two bookings because the accounting currency value is not in balance. I understand this is not in balance and would love to see the difference booked to an exchange differences account automatically but it seems this is not possible?

Ik hope my question is clear and someone can give me some helpfull advice.

Thank you in advance.

    Hi Sinisa,

    You are right that you cannot settle Transactions if the do not match exactly. Have you tried running a foreign currency revaluation on those accounts in GL and try to settle Transactions thereafter?

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank you for your reply. Revaluation could solve the issue, but since we have a lot of bookings on these accounts and want to settle on a daily basis this would require us to run a revaluation every day. That would either create a very large amount of revaluation bookings (if all items are revalued item by item every single day) or a revaluation booking for the sum of the bookings on the account which would require us to settle all bookings in one single settlement (which is not an option either).

    Is there no way to just revalue the 2 bookings that I want to settle right before (or during) settlement?

    Hi Sinisa,

    I'm running into the same issue as you had. Could you find a solution in the AX standard-code to settle the transactions or was a customization needed?

     

    Thank you,
