When processing the reconciliation of invoices with bank statements
in foreign currencies, this is possible that there is a cent of difference,
due to the fact
the sum of amount exchanged could not be equal to the exchanged
sum of amount received.
For instance,
with a company in EUR as currency,
with a rate of 0.033 for USD,
with an invoice of 2.00 USD
(60.606060... rounded to 60.61 EUR)
and a bank statement of two lines of 1.00 USD
(30.30303030... rounded to 30.30 EUR)
The exchanged invoice amount, 60.61 EUR, is not equal to the sum of
statement lines exchanged amount (30.30 + 30.30 = 60.60 EUR).
In such a case, two journal items should be created in addition:
- 0.01 in the debtors account
- 0.01 in the foreign exchange loss account
