Profit and loss evaluation displays the realized incoming and outgoing payments for forex transactions and forex options for a given period as well as the net present value of financial transactions at the start and the end of the period. The realized payments can be translated into the display currency using either the exchange rate valid on the due date of the payment or the rate valid on the posting date. Payments made on the key dates are incorporated in the evaluation of realized payments.

Options which have lapsed or have been exercised, lose their value on the expiration date or the exercise date. Options with cash settlement are an exception; the cash settlement is shown as a realized payment.

The parameter Conversion on due date determines how payments which are not made in the display currency are to be translated. If you set this indicator, the system uses the exchange rate valid on the due date of the payment. If you do not set this indicator, the system uses the exchange rate valid on the posting date. If this rate is not available or if the payment has not been posted, the system uses the exchange rate valid on the current date (system date).
