Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Currency Exchange Rate functionality in Business Central. So kindly help me to understand its purpose.

My local currency is USD. For me, other currencies are foreign currencies. Also, I have listed down my queries below.

1. In General Ledger Setup, I have assigned USD as my Local Currency. Can I keep the LCY code empty instead of assigning the USD?

2. How to record exchange rate manually for currencies (For example, CAD)?

Currency Code: With which currency code I'm going to do the transaction.

Relational Currency Code: Does this column denotes my local currency?

Exchange Rate: How should I fill this column?

Relational Exchange Rate Amount: How should I fill this column?

According to my understanding, I will fill 1.00 CAD at Exchange Rate Column and 0.80 at Relational Exch. Rate Amount. Am I correct here?

3. What is the purpose of Adjustment Exch. Rate Amount and Relational Adjmt Exch Rate Amount columns? When it will be updated?

4. At the end of every month should I run any batch job related to currencies?

Kindly enlighten me with your experience and knowlege.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Steven,

Thank you for the information!

Revan,

If you ran the Adjust Exchange Rate function with a date of 31/08/21 and you have entered an exchange rate for 31/08/21, on the Option page you will Click Adjust Customer, Vendor and Bank balances. What will happen is an entry will be made recording an Unrealized Gain or Loss, depending on the 31/08/21 Exchange Rate and the Customer Balance will be DB/(CR) and the offset booked to Unrealized Gain/Loss on FX DB/(CR).

Thanks,

Steve

RE: #Currency Exchange Rates

Hi Steven,

Thank you for sharing the valuable information!

I have scenario where the sales order is created for a customer in UK and my company is in US.

I have created a sales order on 25th August 2021.

Sales Order Value : $ 1500.00 (1090.33 Pounds).

Exchange Rate : 1US = 0.73 Pounds

I have also invoiced it on the same day.

If run the "Adjust Exchange Rates" report on 31st August 2021, what would be the behaviour?

Can you please enlighten me on this? I have tried it from my end but I couldn't see any changes.

Thanks in advance!

Revan,

Adjust Exchange Rates task can be run to update open subledger entries with current currency exchange rates. The adjustment will lead to a more accurate picture of the unrealized gains and losses of foreign currency transactions. At the end of each month, part of your month-end Accounting close process, you would Adjust Exchange Rates to reflect current exchange rates and an accurate unrealized gain/loss of the transactions.

Thanks,

Steve
