Important

Exchange rates and amount difference settings are designed to correctly reflect exchange rate and amount differences in accounting and tax accounting. However, the amount difference has been canceled in accounting and tax accounting since 01.01.2007 - in accounting and since 01.01.2015 - in tax accounting. Nevertheless, the amount difference functionality still exists in Dynamics 365 Finance. This article describes that functionality.

You use the Currency revaluation accounts page to set up the loss or gain calculation for currency exchange.

Select General ledger > Setup > Currency > Currency parameters.
In the Legal entities field, select a company.
Set the Activate parameters option to Yes to activate the Russian revaluation parameters for the specified currency.

Set up amount difference parameters for exchange rates

Note

Amount differences are canceled in tax accounting from 1.1.2015 in Russia.

An original facture can be corrected if the currency values change during the shipment of goods. After the facture is corrected, the company verifies that the total of the correction is equal to the total of the amount difference. An amount difference facture is generated when a purchase or sales transaction is settled under the following conditions:

The invoice currency and the company currency differ.
The payment currency is equal to the company currency.
The exchange rate of the invoice currency on the invoice date differs from the exchange rate on the payment date.
The amount difference affects the company's liability for value-added tax (VAT).

Any amount difference facture that is generated is processed independently of other factures, and is included in the sales book and purchase book. You can then print the amount difference facture and the original facture that was adjusted based on the amount difference.

Use this procedure to set up parameters for amount differences for exchange rates. When you post an exchange adjustment transaction, it's posted to the ledger account that is defined on the Currency revaluation accounts page. All adjustments are posted to ledger accounts. You must set the posting rules, and you must set the taxable parameter for a positive or negative amount difference.

Select General ledger > Setup > Currency > Currency parameters.
On the General FastTab, set the Amount difference in tax accounting before 01.01.2015 option to Yes to consider amount differences in the calculation of tax accounting registers.
On the Sales/customers FastTab, in the Expense code field, select the expense code to use as a tax dimension for the exchange adjustment transaction if the exchange adjustment is a loss.

Important

The Sales/customers FastTab is available only if you select Incremental or Period grand total in the Calculation method field on the General ledger parameters page.
The settlement transactions might cause exchange adjustment losses and profits. In the Main account field, select the main account for the Realized loss or Realized gain account, and the Unrealized loss or Unrealized gain account, that these exchange adjustment losses and profits are posted to.

Important

This field is required if you select Deviation from the cost price in the Ledger posting field. The Unrealized loss or Unrealized gain account is used when revaluation of foreign currency is done.
In the Customer tax dimension field group, in the Revenue code field, select the revenue code for the exchange adjustment transaction if the exchange adjustment is a profit.
In the Sales taxes field, select Tax to specify that the realized profit or loss of purchase tax is subject to VAT.

Important

Amount difference factures are created only if the Sales taxes field for a positive or negative amount difference is set to Tax.
On the Purchases/Vendors FastTab, in the Expense code field, select the expense code to use as a tax dimension for the amount difference transaction if the amount difference is a loss.

Important

The Purchases/Vendors tab is available only if you select Incremental or Period grand total in the Calculation method field on the General ledger parameters page.
In the Revenue code field, select the revenue code to use for the transaction if the amount difference that the settlement produces is a profit.
In the Sales taxes field, select Tax to specify that the realized profit or loss of purchase tax is subject to VAT.

Important

Amount difference factures are created only if the Sales taxes field for a positive or negative amount difference is set to Tax.
In the Main account fields, select the ledger account that the exchange adjustment transactions for losses and profits are posted to.

Important

This field is required if you select Deviation from the cost price in the Ledger posting field.

Set up accounts payable parameters for amount differences

You use the Accounts payable parameters page to set up accounts payable parameters for amount differences. Facture amount differences are included in a separate list that is created in the purchase book for the specified period. This list contains the cancellation of the source facture and the new facture that is recalculated at payment.

Note

If more than one payment is made during a tax period, the recalculated facture amount is the total of the recalculated payments. If all the payments belong to the same tax period that the invoice belongs to, the total facture is reflected in the purchase book.

Select Accounts payable > Setup > Accounts payable parameters.
On the Ledger and sales tax tab, on the Purchase book FastTab, set the Amount difference in additional list option to Yes to include the amount differences in an additional list in the purchase book.

Amount difference factures for sales and purchase orders

Before you can generate an amount difference facture, you must create and post a facture for a purchase order or sales order. After you post the facture, you settle the facture transactions to generate the amount differences, based on the exchange rates.

Amount difference factures are corrections for factures. Based on the amount differences, the original factures are shown in the sales book (for sales original invoices) and purchase book (for purchase original invoices). In the sales book, they appear as separate lines. However, they have the same facture identifier and the same date as the original facture. In the purchase book, they appear as a total line, where the sum of the amount differences is added to the original facture amount.

You can recalculate the cost of the original facture so that the amount difference is considered. In the additional list, the original facture amount has a negative sign, and the recalculated facture amount has a positive sign. You can print the amount differences from the Facture journal page in the following ways:

Include all amount difference factures.
Include only selected amount difference factures.

Example

The following example shows how amount differences are calculated for a contract.

The cost of the received goods is 100 standard units, and the tax accounting period is monthly. Payments are made in Russian rubles (RUB) by using the currency rate on the payment date.

If the currency rate is 32 RUB for one standard unit, two invoice lines are created, as shown in the following table.

Standard units	Invoice amount	VAT percent	Standard units (including VAT percentage)	Invoice amount (including VAT percentage)
40	1,280	18	6.10	195.20
60	1,920	10	5.45	174.20

If the currency rate changes from 32 RUB to 28 RUB, the payment for the received goods also changes. For 20 standard units, the payment becomes 560 RUB. Therefore, during transaction settlement, an amount difference (28 – 32) is generated and appears on the facture lines. You can also calculate the total cost and total tax for every tax code.

If A is the corrected number of standard units, based on the amount difference for the first facture line, here is the proportion for the VAT calculation:

20:100 = A:40

Therefore, A = 20 × 40 ÷ 100 = 8.

Therefore, the correction for the first line is 8 × (28 – 32) = –32 RUB.

If B is the corrected number of standard units, based on the amount difference for the second facture line, here is the proportion for the VAT calculation:

20:100 = B:60

Therefore, B = 20 × 60 ÷ 100 = 12.

Therefore, the correction for the second line is 12 × (28 – 32) = –48 RUB.

VAT is applied to the amount difference. For VAT at 18 percent, the value is (32 ÷ 118) × 18 = 4.88 RUB. For VAT at 10 percent, the value is (48 ÷ 110) × 10 = 4.36 RUB.
