Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your time.
Something weird happened with one of our foreign currency Bank Recs. Base currency - USD, foreign currency Bank - CAD
Jan 16 - Fx rate 0.86
Information on the Bank Rec:
GL amount (USD) $351,551.28 and the G/L Balance in CAD $408,780.56 (351,551.28/0.86)
Everything is correct, and the Bank Rec is posted
Jan 20 - Fx rate 0.84
No transaction happened between Jan 16 and Jan 20
Information on the Bank Rec:
GL amount (USD) $351,551.28 and the G/L Balance in CAD $424,396.45 ($424,396.45/351,551.28 = 0.8283 ??)
Not sure why the CAD amount changed on the Bank Rec.
Now, the most weird part is after we run "Adjust Exchange Rate" batch (with blank start date), NAV posted debit to GL of the bank account, making the GL amount 356,493.06 . Now, if we $424,396.45/356,493.06, we get the rate for Jan 20, which was 0.84
This whole thing looks puzzling. I don't understand why NAV:
1. Changed the CAD amount on the Jan 20 Bank Rec if no transaction happened between Jan 16 and 20
2. How come initial CAD amount was according to non-existent rate of 0.8283 and only after the currency adjustment the rate is 0.84
3. Why NAV posted Debit adjustment to GL when the base currency become dearer? On Jan 20 CAD worth less, so NAV should have posted Credit amount
