Scenario :

How to handle bank currency revaluation? Let’s say I have an overseas bank account and I want to adjust the local currency amount according to the currency of the month so that the balance sheet bank account will be up-to-date.

  1. First of all, Advance Currency Module is a chargeable module. Ensure you purchase Advance Currency Module.
    In Module Manager, this module is ticked so that the function is available
  2. In General Ledger> Chart of Accounts > Under Expenses
     Create an account for “UNREALISED FOREX LOSS (GL)
    ”.  


  3. In General Ledger > Chart of Accounts > Under Other income, create an account for “UNREALISED FOREX GAIN (GL).
  4. Maintenance > Default Interface Accounts > Update “Unrealised forex gain GL” and “Unrealised forex loss GL”. So that system will post to these 2 accounts if the currency revaluation is proceed


  5. Maintenance > Currencies, setup the foreign currency, we are using USD as sample.  Set a default rate, sample here is 4.0

  8.  If you click on the double-entry, the system posts as local currency

  9.  Continue to create another entry for payment. Create a Payment Voucher, select as CIMB BANK (USD) at 23/8/2021 > rate as 4.1 System will post local currency as well

  10. Let’s say the user would like to revaluate the bank account on September,  then you need to setup the currency rate for September. Maintenance > Currencies > under Currency Rate by Periods > Click New
    Setup rate for September. Example we set 4.01 for currency rate

  11.  To proceed currency revaluation, go to Advance Currency Module > Auto Revaluation – GL
    Setup the Date, and select the bank account to revaluate

    F.Currency = The oversea bank balance in the system (In Foreign Currency amount)
    Currency Rate = The currency rate
    L.Currency = Local Currency amount before currency revaluation (F.Currency X Currency Rate)

    Revaluate Rate = The rate we set at Currencies maintenance for September
    After Rev = Local Currency amount after currency revaluation (F.Currency X Revaluate Rate)
    Adjustment = The amount to adjust (It will post to Unrealised Gain or Loss account)
