Amount differences result from differing exchange rates for Conventional Units (CU). Amount differences arise when there is an agreement that payables or receivables are equal to a particular sum in the CU and the exchange rate to the local currency changes over time.

Note Note

CUs are virtual currencies applied by businesses because of local currency fluctuations. The CU exchange rate to the local currency is defined by a contract between your organization and the business partner and can be based on an exchange rate of the Central Bank to a foreign currency, with minor fluctuations.

End of the note.

Because CUs are not real currencies, payments are realized in the local currency, even though transactions with the business partner are made in CUs. If the posted amount in local currency on the date of payment differs from the posted amount in local currency on the invoice posting date, you must calculate the amount differences and post them to the relevant accounts.

To calculate amount differences, use the Amount Differences report. For more information on how to work with CUs, see Amount Differences - Procedure: RU.
