Hi wanted to ask help. Is there a way that you can control what specific accounts to use on where the Realized Gain/Loss amounts gets posted ?
m
Configurr you foreign currency variance rules
j
Thanks a lot!
m
@michoel @Marc I configured the foreign currency variance rules. How do I fire it off? I tested a transaction but the rule didn't do anything?
m
Show me the rules please You need to select subsidiary , account type , gain or loss ( realized or not ) etc
m
I did a very basic one
m
Could you delete the field account And use that : Account type : account payable , receivable , other current asset , other current liability,unbilled receivable Gain/Loss : Gain Variance type : realized Subsidiary : select all Create the same for Loss
Then you can create a bill and bill payment who use different exchange rate than bill
m
Ok, let me try.
@Marc what is gain/loss : gain?
I only have this
m
Strange you don’t have gain/loss ?? Because on my Netsuite I have
m
Yeah I don't some of the fields listed on the criteria
Probably missing a setup somewhere
m
Are you admin ?
m
yeah
m
The setup is just to enable the feature
Do you have something similar in the list?
m
I'm doing in this in sandbox. I don't think that should make a difference
the remaining drop down are custom fields
m
Have you enable the feature multiple currency ??
m
yes
m
Have you check in the sandbox ?
You can test without gain/loss But open a case to know what is the problem
m
yup, it's enabled
m
Your destination account is the system generated account ?
If yes can you test with another account and check if you can select the value in the list
m
No, its a new account
m
Strange .. Can you try with csv import , and check if you can select the gain/loss
m
I was able to make it work without the gain/loss criteria
m
Ok but in your test it’s a gain or loss ? Because I don’t know if it loss , the account used in this case is gain ( account destination on your variance rule )
m
it's a loss
so I should test a gain to see if that works?
m
I think it will work for gain and loss. the only problem is that in your variance account you have entered a gain account so if you have a loss like the test you just did, it will impact the wrong account
m
the variance type?
or do you mean the destination account?
I found the gain and loss. I don't why it's translated in a different language.
I think I'm in good shape. I have a path to move forward. Thanks for your help
m
Ahhh good news Cool
oh sorry I hadn't seen that in your destination account you put an account that manages losses and gains. So you don't even need to add the loss/gain criteria
