We have suppliers invoicing us in foreign currencies. These amounts are not cleared by the Tax Clearance voucher, only the domestic currency equivalent balance is cleared. As all these foreign currency transactions come in different currency rates, the balances do not come out right to balance even the domestic account right.
So, we end up with a twofold issue:
- A residual Domestic Currency amount on the Tax Transaction accounts.
- The Currency Balances are never cleared for the foreign currencies.
The first issue we can handle by entering a manual voucher but it is quite a tedious job to find the correct exchange rate for the different foreign currency balances. But perhaps we do not need to be precise in solving this issue.
The second issue is harder to handle, after running the Tax Clearance voucher, we have (not exactly) a zero domestic balance while the full foreign currency balances remain and grow by each month.
How can these foreign currency balances be cleared?
Any suggestions? Please!
