In certain businesses it may be necessary to account for gains or losses resulting from changes in Exchange Rates. For example, if a Transaction is entered using the correct Exchange Rate for the Transaction Date and the Exchange Rate then changes significantly, it may be necessary to apply the new Exchange Rate and post a gain or loss.

To carry out this task, follow these steps:

Use the Rate Gain/Loss setting in the Nominal Ledger to establish which Accounts are to be used to store the gains and losses resulting from changes in Exchange Rates.
Run the Currency A/C Rate Change report in the Nominal Ledger to view the effect on past Transactions of recent Exchange Rate changes.
Run the 'Rate Gain/Loss' Maintenance function in the Nominal Ledger to create Transactions posting the gains or losses resulting from the application of the new Exchange Rate.
