Do not Restate Foreign Currency

You can choose not to restate foreign currency balances in selected GL accounts.  You must specify that the account is to be ignored from the revaluation process.

Step 1: Navigate to the Ledger menu > chart of accounts > select GL account > edit > tick "Do not restate foreign currency"

Step 2: Select from what period to Do not restate

We recommend using the current period option, otherwise you have to delete the revaluation journals in prior periods.

1. Tick “Do not restate” on the selected accounts

2. If you have already run the revaluation for the current period you will need to delete this
