Under General Ledger/Maintenance, Uniconta can calculate and post exchange rate adjustments for a specific period. The adjustment is recommended to be calculated on the last day of the period. For Customer and Vendor Transactions, the Exchange rate adjustment is calculated on the last day of the period and reversed the day after. Finance adjustments are not reversed.
It provides a snapshot of what the company should adjust the result with if all payments in and out are made on the calculation date.
ATTENTION! Remember that primoposts must be created for the year you make the currency adjustment in.
The form is filled in according to the following guidelines. Accounts should only be filled in where currency is to be adjusted If, for example, there is nothing in Customer, then Customer is not adjusted. And if only Finance is to be adjusted, only "Offset account for financial accounts" should be filled in. If Vendors are to be adjusted, only the two accounts for Vendor adjustment must be filled in. Financial accounts are adjusted on the accounts that have the Currency code set in the Chart of accounts. When OK is pressed, the Value per Currency is calculated as of the specified date. This value is compared with the value in the company currency. The difference is calculated on a currency loss/profit account in operations and is entered in the opposite direction on an accrual account in status.
As an alternative to entering the account numbers above, they can be entered on the debtor and creditor group, as shown in the screenshot below.
ATTENTION! Remember to check that the currency adjustment account is set up as a system account.
