==='''<span id="Revaluation of Currency Accounts">Revaluation of Currency Accounts</span>'''===



A financial adjustment made to the value of a country's currency relative to other currencies. It involves altering the exchange rate of a currency to reflect its current value in the foreign exchange market.

Revaluation can occur in both fixed and floating exchange rate systems. In a fixed exchange rate system, where the value of a currency is pegged to another currency or a fixed standard like gold, revaluation involves a deliberate change in the official exchange rate. This can be done by the central bank or the government to adjust the currency's value and correct any imbalances in the economy.

In a floating exchange rate system, where the currency's value is determined by market forces, revaluation occurs when the value of a currency increases against other currencies due to factors such as economic growth, increased demand for exports, or changes in market sentiment. This change in value can have various implications for trade, investment, and the overall economy.

# The Highnix ERP system offers comprehensive functionality for revaluing open foreign currency transactions. This feature encompasses various aspects, including Investment Accounts, Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and Bank Balances. Investment Accounts can be conveniently created within the Bank Account management module. These accounts serve as repositories for funds designated for specific purposes, such as investments, rather than being utilized for invoice payments or receipts.
# '''Date for Revaluation''': This is the date of the revaluation and the system will base on this date to scan all the outstanding accounts mentioned above to check for the exchange rate from the exchage rate modules.This parameter specifies the date on which the revaluation process takes place. The system utilizes this date to scan all the outstanding accounts mentioned earlier, including Investment Accounts, Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and Bank Balances. During the revaluation, the system checks the exchange rates stored in the exchange rate modules corresponding to the specified date.
#'''To make the exchange variance realized''':  
##  Highnix ERP incorporates a powerful feature designed to cater to the management needs of users. Many companies have specific requirements for financial reporting, including the inclusion of unrealized exchange rate gain/loss. With this feature, Highnix ERP enables companies to generate financial reports that reflect these unrealized gains or losses accurately.
##  Once the reporting is completed, the Finance team may need to reverse the transaction. Alternatively, some companies prefer to realize the exchange rate at the time of reporting without requiring manual journal entries. Highnix ERP simplifies this process by providing a user-friendly option in the form of a dropdown box.
##  By selecting 'No' in the dropdown box, the system automatically creates general ledger (GL) entries charging the unrealized gain/loss to the appropriate account in the current month. Additionally, it generates corresponding reverse entries at the beginning of the next month to nullify the impact.
##  On the other hand, if 'Yes' is selected, the system charges the transaction to the pre-set Realized Exchange Rate Account. In this case, no additional entry is created for reversal purposes.
##  By offering these options, Highnix ERP streamlines the management of exchange rate gain/loss, providing flexibility to cater to different reporting preferences without the need for manual interventions.
