Foreign currency valuation

Basically, valuation process is necessary if vendor/customer accounts contain open items in a foreign currency. The amounts of these open items were translated into the local currency at the time they were entered using the current exchange rate.

The exchange rate is probably different at the time of closing, and open items need to be valuated again. A program valuates the open items using the new exchange rate and enters the valuation difference in the valuated line items.

A valuation cannot be made by posting to the payables account, since reconciliation accounts cannot be directly posted to. For this reason, the amount is posted to an adjustment account, which appears in the same line of the balance sheet as the reconciliation account.
