Each time that you revalue foreign currency amounts for vendors, the value of open vendor transactions that are posted in foreign currencies is revalued and the periodic job is added to the list on the Overview tab.

Fields

Field	Description
Show	Select the types of foreign currency revaluations to view on the Overview tab.
Executed date	The system date when the foreign currency revaluation job was run.
Method	The method that was used in the selected foreign currency revaluation job: Standard – Foreign currency revaluation transactions are posted regardless of whether the result is a profit or a loss. Minimum – Foreign currency revaluations are posted only if the result is a loss. Invoice date – Foreign currency revaluation transactions use the original exchange rate of the transactions, which are revalued to their original value in the accounting currency. The effect of any previous foreign currency revaluation is canceled.
Considered date	The date for which all transactions that have open (not settled) amounts are found. Foreign currency amounts are revalued with the exchange rates that are entered in the Currency exchange rates form for the considered date. Important When foreign currency amounts are revalued on a considered date, this date becomes the last foreign currency revaluation date for the transactions that are revalued. You can run a foreign currency revaluation job for a considered date that is earlier than the last foreign currency revaluation date on transactions that have already been revalued. However, transactions that are open on the earlier considered date, but that have a more recent last foreign currency revaluation date, are not revalued by the periodic job. Therefore, the last foreign currency revaluation date is no longer updated when you revalue foreign currency amounts for a single transaction, but only when you run the vendor foreign currency revaluation periodic job.
Date of rate	The date that determines the exchange rate that is used in the foreign currency revaluation transaction. If this field is blank, the exchange rate that applied to the considered date is used in the foreign currency revaluation transaction.
Use posting profile from	The posting profile that is used for the foreign currency revaluation transactions: Posting – The posting profile of the vendor transaction is used. Select – The posting profile is determined by the posting profile in the Posting profile field.
