In Yuki you can create foreign currency bank accounts or process foreign currency invoices


While closing the financial year (Annual report) the trial balance has to be checked. This check also involves, among others, that each GL account, if necessary, has to be revaluated. This would include the revaluation of the balance of a foreign currency account and the outstanding foreign currency invoices on the 'Creditors' and/or 'Debtor' ledger accounts.


The balance of a foreign currency account can simply be revalued in Yuki. The GL account that contains the transactions of the relevant foreign currency account can be opened via the trial balance.


Only a user with the 'Back office' role in the domain or the 'Financial administration' or 'External accountant' role can revalue a foreign currency account.


Revalue balance of foreign currency account

Hover your mouse over the Financials icon in the navigation bar and then click on Trial balance. Open the foreign currency account.


In order to revalue a foreign currency account you have to click on the Revalue button or on the Revalue option in the pop-up menu. 



The following screen is opened:



The end date of the selected period on the card of the GL account will be used as revaluation date. The balance in foreign currency will be converted to the known exchange rate on that date. When you click on the OK button a general journal entry will be created that corrects the balance (in standard currency) as it is known at that moment to the balance according to the known exchange rate at the given date.
