The 'Revaluation of Base Currency 2' Maintenance Function

This page describes the 'Revaluation of Base Currency 2' Maintenance function in the Nominal Ledger.

---

The 'Revaluation of Base Currency 2' Maintenance function in the Nominal Ledger will check the balances in Base Currencies 1 and 2 of each Account on a specified date. It will then convert the Base Currency 1 balance of each Account to Base Currency 2 using the current Base Rate (or the Base rate for a specified date). If there is a difference between the stored balance in Base Currency 2 and the balance calculated using the current Base Rate, a Nominal Ledger Transaction will be created in which the difference will be posted as a gain or loss resulting from the application of the current Base Rate. Where the application of the current Base Rate results in a loss in Base Currency 2, that loss will be debited to the Account specified in the specification window and credited to the Account in question. Where a gain results, that gain will be credited to the Account specified in the specification window and debited to the Account in question.

If you need to find out the value of the Transaction that will be created by this function and the Accounts that will be affected, run the Base Currency Rate Change report first.

The 'Revaluation of Base Currency 2' function will use the date that you specify here for the following purposes:

  1. The function will check the balance of each Account on this date.

  2. The date that you specify here will be the Transaction Date in the Transaction that will be created by the function.

If you do not enter a date, the current date will be used.

Date of Exchange Rate
Paste Special    Choose date
The function will convert the Base Currency 1 balance of each Account to Base Currency 2 using the Base Rate applying on the date that you specify here. If there is a difference between the stored balance in Base Currency 2 and this calculated figure, a Nominal Ledger Transaction will be created in which the difference will be posted as a gain or loss resulting from the application of the current Base Rate.

If you do not enter a date, the date specified in the field above or, if that field is also empty, the current date will be used.
