Key Benefits of Currency Management for Your Company

  • Reduce Manual Currency Calculations

    Enter financial documents in their transaction currency and allow the system to apply the appropriate exchange rate. This reduces reliance on spreadsheets, manual cross-rate calculations, and separate currency-adjustment processes.

  • Improve Financial Accuracy

    Automate the calculation and posting of realized gains, unrealized gains, revaluation differences, translation differences, and currency-rounding adjustments. Designated General Ledger accounts help finance teams track each type separately.

  • Translate Financial Statements Automatically

    Manage subsidiaries operating in a foreign currency or prepare your financial statements in a foreign currency – translation of the trial balance follows FASB-52 standards. Automatically calculate translation gains and losses. Automate the consolidation of financial statements from multiple subsidiaries in combination with the GL module.

  • Support International Customers and Vendors

    Process customer receipts, vendor payments, and other transactions in the currencies your business partners use while maintaining accurate values in the company’s base currency. Allow separate companies to operate using different base currencies while enabling consolidated reporting across the organization.

Important Features of Currency Management

Process International Payments

Process international payments in the relevant document currency. Enter foreign-currency amounts directly when paying vendor bills or recording customer payments, reducing manual conversion work and the risk of rounding discrepancies.

Revaluation of General Ledger Accounts

Acumatica supports accounting for foreign currency by allowing you to revalue General Ledger accounts denominated in other currencies. Adjust the value of the base currency and posts the appropriate currency gain or loss transaction.

Unlimited Currencies and Rate Types

Assign different rate types to vendors and customers that use the same foreign currency. Currency Management supports an unlimited number of currencies and rate types. Exchange rates can be updated at any time.

Multiple Base Currencies

Allow different companies to conduct business and maintain their accounting records in their preferred base currencies. Consolidate reporting across those companies and currencies when a group-level financial view is required.

Configurable Decimal Precision

Acumatica Currency Management lets you configure the number of decimal places for each currency. Invoices issued in different currencies can be rounded by different rules.

Automatic Handling of Rounding Differences

Automatically compute rounding differences sensitive to desired decimal provisions. Rounding differences are automatically posted to a designated GL account.

Complete Tracking of Gains and Losses

Create detailed analytical reports of gains and losses. Assign accounts and subaccounts for each currency to track realized and unrealized gains and losses, translation gains and losses, revaluation gains and losses, and rounding gains and losses.

Currency Rate Lookup

Calculations use the transaction date and the rate type for the subject transaction. Manual rate overrides will receive a warning if the entry exceeds the established acceptable rate variance.

Historical and Auditing Reports

Predefined reports monitor the history of currency rates as well as translations and revaluations performed.

Audit Trail

Create a complete audit trail of all currency related transactions including the ID of the user who entered the transaction and the user who modified a record. Notes and supporting electronic documents can be attached directly to the transactions.

Predefined List of Currencies

Select from a predefined list of currencies included in the ISO 4217 standard for use in Acumatica. Currencies will display with the proper currency symbol.
