Multicurrency: Realized Gains or Losses

To generate GL distributions for gains and losses related to converting one currency to another, you can map revenue transactions to GL accounts or account codes.

When you specify an account code, other segments are derived from selected characteristics of the transaction.

Review the table for examples of possible mappings for currency exchange distributions.

Transaction Type	Debit #	Credit #
Commitment exchange that results in a gain	01-1000-00	01-4000-00
Commitment exchange that results in a loss	5600	1000
