Currency Valuation GL/AP
I am testing my Data before I go live, I want to know where I am going wrong. I have set up by base currency as QAR. Exchange rate conversion to manual. In exchange rate I have set up exchange rate of USD = 3.6415 (QAR 3.6415 = 1 USD OR 1 QAR = 0.2746 USD)

I paid a Vendor USD 500/- (Supplier currency set to USD) which is equal to QAR 1820.75 . I checked the transaction in GL (AP Control A/c), it gives me correct effect, but when I take the “Local Currency Supplier Totals” in UTILITIES, it gives me wrong value i.e. USD 500/- = QAR 137.31. Same case when I run the report “Supplier Balance at Prior Month End in PAYABLES

The reverse happens when I changed the exchange rate of USD to 0.2746 and again different values in both AP + GL

Where am I going wrong??

The exchange rate is always expressed as how many of the foreign currency = 1 of the functional currency. So in your case you should be using 0.2746

That does not solve my problem, the reports still gives the same differecnces

Another issue I noticed

When I buy from the supplier in FC for e.g. USD 500 I have following entries (1 QAR = 0.2746 USD)
Purchase a/c Debit QAR 1820.75
AP Control a/c Credit QAR 1820.75 (USD 500/- Payable to Supplier)

One month later I pay the supplier USD 500/- but the exchange rate is now (1 QAR = 0.275 USD)

Hence the transaction should be

AP Control a/c Debit QAR 1820.75 (USD 500 Paid to Supplier)
Bank A/c Credit QAR 1818.18
Diff in Exchange Debit QAR 2.57

But when I simulated this in WEBERP I noticed that the transaction amount is QAR 1818.18 thereby showing a difference of QAR 2.57 in AP Control a/c.

How do I avoid this

The difference on exchange is calculated and posted only when you allocate the payment to the invoices it is paying.

It all seems to work ok for me - a screenshot might be useful.

Yes the difference of exchange is taken care off after allocation
THANKS-A-LOT
