Example 4: G/L Postings that Occur from the Payment 

Below you will find the G/L postings that result after payment is made to the vendor.

Europe

Remember that the invoice as originally posted with an exchange rate of 3.00. It was revaluated at the end of the period at a rate of 2.97. The assumption is that the invoice is paid before the end of the second period - so it was not revalued a second time. At the time of payment, the exchange rate has dropped to 2.95.

North America

Remember that the invoice as originally posted with an exchange rate of 0.7. It was revaluated at the end of the period at a rate of 0.67 with different results for revaluation methods I and II. The assumption is that the invoice is paid before the end of the second period - so it was not revalued a second time. At the time of payment, the exchange rate has dropped to 0.66.
