Unrealized Gain/Loss Criteria

The Unrealized Gain/Loss Criteria screen allows you to define the input criteria used in the Unrealized Gain/Loss process. This process is used to restate the company and base currencies values of Balance Sheet accounts for a specific period using the rates stored in the Currency Revaluation. The process creates journal entries to adjust the balances and generates the Unrealized Gain/Loss report. For more information about the report, see Unrealized Gain / Loss (Report).

For an account to be revalued, it must be an asset, liability, or equity type account. To exclude an account from revaluation, deselect the Revalue option on the account.

For an overview of currency, see Multi-Currency Overview.
