Hi Guys,
Am confused as to why my multicurrency ledger classifies currency adjustments as "realised" currency adjustsments when most are unrealised and simply re-valuations of investments.
The chart of accounts appears to only allow currency adjustments to be set up as "other expenses". There is not option to set up as an asset or liability.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards, David
Thank you for your reply. Its most appreciated.
Unfortunately I am not sure how this is working.
The P&L report shows under Other Expenses
- Unrealised Gain or loss 0
- Exchange Gain or loss 300,000
The figures should be the other way around, ie unrealised gain or loss should be 300,000
Hi there and thank you for contacting us today, dsstephensco-gma.
Gains or losses are only realised after the transactions have been collected or paid. That's why QuickBooks Online shows the effect on account types such as bank accounts as a realised foreign exchange gain or loss.
You can review information about Home currency adjustments through this article: Frequently Asked Questions about Home Currency Adjustments.
About setting up an asset or liability account for the currency adjustment, QuickBooks place amounts as an Other expense on the Profit and Loss report for the period.
