Conversion / Revaluation / Translation
Translation is the process which picks up the foriegn currency balances and
converts them into functional currency balances (for a particular period,SOB,etc).So basically the translation process will generate additional records in the
gl_balances table. It only operates at the balances level and not on the
transactions/journals level. It picks up the periods rate defined for that period.(not
the daily rates).
Revaluation is a process which is typically run periodically to account for the
loss/gain in the foreign currency. As an ex, if there is a transaction is foreign
currency and it could have gained some value due to the economic differences. So
revaluation process will take notice of this and create the new journals which
account for the net loss/gain. So these journal will have to posted again.
Revaluation process will not update the gl_balances.
Revaluation : Period-end process where you assess value of ASSET (for example
1,000/- CASH foriegn currency .. say EUR ) according to new rates. Generally the
value of your cash euro is not the same as it was the last month. So when you
revalue it with new rate it gives you higher or lower value of same 1,000/- EUR.
The difference is then tranfered to/from gain/loss P&L account. Actual
transaction/Journal is passed to capture this transaction.
EUR1,000/- @1.5 = USD1,500/-(USD is Functional Currency) as it appears on daily
reports.
Revaluation is done and period end rate is @1.47
Now EUR1,000/- @1.47 = USD1,470/-(USD30/- is GAIN) will be transfered to profit
and loss account. Now we can BUY EUR1,000/- for only USD1,470/-
Translation : For Balance sheet and reporting purposes only. No journal is passed.
Any FC Balance in any summary account is translated into Functional currency
balance to report on balance sheet ot other reports.
