Business value
Currently, if the accounting currency is in balance (debits = credits) for matched transactions in ledger settlement, no realized gain/loss is posted if the reporting currency doesn't balance to zero. This feature addresses that gap by posting a gain/loss in the reporting currency if the accounting currency is in balance. This speeds up period-end closing by eliminating the need to first post the gain/loss in the reporting currency if it isn't already posted through accounts payment, accounts receivable settlement, or a manual reporting currency adjustment journal.
Feature details
This feature uses the accounting currency for matching within ledger settlement. If the accounting amounts are balanced in the accounting currency, the ledger settlement posts a gain/loss when necessary for the reporting currency. The gain/loss posting only occurs for main accounts that don't already have a gain/loss posted through the AR/AP settlement.
This is the first step to fully supporting gain/loss posting during ledger settlement. Other scenarios will be added in the future where gains and losses can be posted for the accounting currency. Partial settlement isn't supported and is planned for a future release.
