Foreign currency sales, purchases, and transfers

  • Artikel

Dynamics 365 Finance lets you perform the following tasks:

  • Register transactions for a sale, purchase, or transfer of foreign currency that is done by using the Money transfers in transit ledger account.
  • Automatically calculate the profit/loss amounts that are caused by the foreign currency conversion for a sale or purchase of foreign currency. (The calculation considers the foreign currency exchange rate of the Central Bank and the exchange rate of the legal entity's bank on the date of the foreign currency transfer.) Also automatically generate transactions for profit/loss from the foreign currency conversion.
  • Automatically generate transactions for the unrealized exchange rate difference that is caused when the exchange rates on the foreign currency transaction dates differ.
  • Print a foreign currency transfer order.
