Re: Secondary Currency for Liquidity Journals

 

Hi,

On our side we are very happy that now account secondary currency must
match the journal secondary currency and I would be curious to know the
scenarii where you could have to have this mismatch.
Please keep also in mind that this set up is mandatory for account_voucher
(the multicurrency version in 6.1)

Regarding revaluation module, we have recently developped a module for a
international company :
account_unrealized_currency_gain_loss<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ec2c/c2c-financial-addons/6.1/files/head:/account_unrealized_currency_gain_loss/>in
~c2c/c2c-financial-addons/6..<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ec2c/c2c-financial-addons/6.1>

It can generate different kind of reevaluation journal entries (which can
be different in UK, FR or CH for example...so you can choose), at account /
currency/ partner level. these entries can be reversed easily with
account_reversal (dependancy). Of course this works on any account (see
check box 'allow revaluation' in account form...still to be as generic as
possible) with or without secondary currency.

We will maybe improve this module soon with a webkit report for audit
purpose.

Any contributions are welcome.

Regards

Frederic
