Question on Foreign currency Valuation..

Answer / raj

Foreign Currency valuation is used in reporting purpose.
As per accounting Concepts , We have to show expected Losses in report while dawing reports from system for free flow of funds.

FCV is used in all cases Like GL , VENDOR, CUSTOMER cases to calculate expected Loss or Profit...

EX: FCV result will come in 2 ways...
1. Unrealized Exchange gain/Loss
2. Realized Exchange Gain/Loss

Its applicable for Foreign Transactions.

EX : When we Purchased goods from vendor 10 Units @ 50$ * 60 Inr = 3000 Inr

When we run the FCV that time the Dollar value Increased ie; 62 Inr

Ie 100 Rs is the Exchange rate diff that 100 Rs will be UNREALIZED EXCHANGE LOSS....
