Entries in foreign currency: checking the period's documents

Check the active company, period and editing permission before any confirmation. Follow only steps applicable to the company's legal form and accounting regime.

Supporting documents

• Prepare foreign-currency invoices and purchase documents, together with exchange-rate evidence.
• The contract, receipt, delivery or correction document explaining the transaction, as applicable.

Completing and checking data

1. Select the company and period; check that the page matches the document's direction and currency.
2. In the table, compare supplier, date, currency, foreign-currency total, exchange rate and equivalent in lei with the original. Open the document to review its lines, not just the total.
3. If a document is missing or incorrect, return to upload and validation. Check approval before searching the ledger again.
   • Document validation
4. In double-entry bookkeeping, check the source entry and its posting. Before VAT returns, also check tax treatment, tax points and relevant journals.
   • Draft sources
   • Purchase journal
   • Sales journal

The period's register is reconciled with documents and the applicable accounting workflow.

Practical example

You receive a EUR 100 invoice. At an example rate of RON 5/EUR, its equivalent is 100 × 5 = RON 500. In Foreign currency purchases, check the currency, rate and date applicable to the transaction; do not add the EUR 100 amount to its RON 500 equivalent.

Frequently asked questions and solutions

The period total differs from the documents.

Check filters, unapproved documents, drafts, correction invoices and currency. Reconcile document by document before using the total for tax computation.

I have the same invoice in two sources. Must it be recorded twice?

Compare the issuer, number, date, currency and total and preview the documents. Check whether they represent the same transaction and which record already exists. Keep originals needed for review but avoid two entries for the same invoice; check approvals and links before removing a copy.
