Hi accounting team,
I would like to create F*oreign Currency Variance posting rules* for the 58XXXX Funds Transfer account.
This way, when there is a booking to transfer funds in foreign currency from one bank to another, NetSuite can record a realized foreign exchange gain or loss.
Let's take the following example:
Journal Entry #1 on the entity SAS (local currency EURO)
Date = 01/01/2023
DEBIT 580000 Funds Transfer - 6430$ (6336,48€)
CREDIT 512100 Bank A - 6430$ (6336,48€)
Journal Entry #2 on the entity SAS (local currency EURO)
Date = 01/03/2023
CREDIT 580000 Funds Transfer - 6430$ (6391.49€)
DEBIT 512200 Bank B - 6430$ (€6391.49)
When the funds arrive on the Bank B account, there is an exchange loss of 55.01€ (6391.49 - 6336,48), NetSuite should create the following entry (Expected Result):
DEBIT 666000 Financial foreign exchange losses 55,01€.
CREDIT 580000 Funds Transfer 55.01€.
What would be the best way to configure foreign posting rules to handle these use cases?
Currently it looks like NetSuite is re-evaluating the balance of my 580000 Funds tranfer account at the end of the period to post an Unrealized gain/loss exchange difference that is reversed at the beginning of the next month.
