Scenario 1: The configuration is as follows
- FX Gain Unrealized Account: 70200000
- Reset FX Unrealized Gain Account: 72510000
- Exchange Rate Difference Realized – Gain: 72510000
The result shows that:
- The valuation in January has posted unrealized FX effects on account 70200000.
- Exchange Rate Differences from clearing are posted onto account 72510000 (line 3).
- The valuation in February has posted the corrections for FX effects from valuation on account 72510000 (line 4).
- On account 72510000 the amount of EUR 200 (line 3) will be reduced by EUR – 100 (line 4) to correct the unrealized FX effects that had been posted before (line 2).
- The balance on account 70200000 is not zero at the end of the process.
However, if run the valuation within the same month in Jan in Step 4, the valuation will be posted to FX Gain Unrealized Account: 70200000.
The reason behind this is as follows:
If the open items are cleared and the valuation is rerun within the same month, the system assumes that the initial valuation should not occur. Hence, when the valuation is rerun, it will only result in a reserve and continue to post to the previous FX Gain Unrealized Account.
However, if the valuation is run in the subsequent month, the 'Reset FX Unrealized Gain Account' are used to reset existing value adjustments from Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation after an open item is cleared.
