Enter Accounts to Revalue

Explanation

This activity is used to enter, change and view the accounts for which currency revaluation should be performed. Here you also state if the revaluation should be performed on account balances or on a transaction level and how the currency revaluation should be posted. 

When a currency revaluation voucher is created, the currency gain or loss is posted either to posting type GP10 - Unrealized Currency Gains or GP11 - Unrealized Currency Losses. The opposite side of the voucher is posted either to the original accounts or the accounts defined in posting type GP9 - Currency Revaluation. 

When a  parallel currency revaluation voucher is created, the currency gain or loss is posted either to GP20 - Unrealized Parallel Currency Gains or GP21 - Unrealized Parallel Currency Losses posting type. The opposite side of the voucher is posted either to the original accounts or the accounts defined in GP19 - Parallel Currency Revaluation posting type.
