Brief Description  

This report shows information on realized and unrealized gains and losses for foreign currency transactions. Realized gains and losses occur when an invoice in a foreign currency is paid before the end of an accounting period. The difference in the value of the foreign currency between when the invoice was raised and when it was paid is the realized gain or loss. Unrealized gains and losses occur when the exchange rate changes for an unpaid foreign currency invoice. These are usually calculated at the end of an accounting period.  

Use Cases 

This report can help you understand the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on your financial statements.
