Running the Currency Revaluation Report

Use the Currency Revaluation Utility to generate realized and unrealized currency gains and losses that occur because of currency rate changes.

You can run this utility with or without posting to the respective A/P, PO, or A/R distribution journals. When generating realized gains and losses, the utility includes gain/loss amounts previously posted to the A/P and A/R journals.

Posting realized gains and losses rewrites historical rates in the open transactions. Posting unrealized gains and losses creates the journal entries as reversing entries.

  1. Select the accounts to process:
    • Receivables
