You use this program to define the interface ledger accounts by branch/currency for the revaluation of outstanding foreign currency customer invoices using the AR Exchange Rate Revaluation and AR Payment Run programs.
| Field | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Functions | |||||||
| Maintain | Add or change the interface entries. | ||||||
| Integration Level | Set the integration level required. Interface entries can be defined by currency within AR branch, or by currency code within AR branch. |
||||||
| Validate | Check the validity of the interface entries to ensure the integrity of your interface records based on the Integration level selected. You can view missing entries, and delete invalid entries. | ||||||
| View | Indicate the type of entries to display in the
listview.

AR currency variance integration can be defined by:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| OK | Select this to accept your selections. |
| Cancel | Select this to ignore any changes and set focus back to the AR Variance Interface Details listview. |
| Autoload Values | These options enable you to indicate how you want to save the
selections made in this pane. You can choose to set all selections as they were when you last ran the program (i.e. Load Previous Form Values) or save your selections in the pane as your default preferences for all companies, or for the current company only (i.e. Save Form Values as Default or Save Form Values for this Company). If you have saved form values for the company or as the default, then you can remove these settings and restore them to the form's default preference selections. |
| Integration level | Enable this to define interface entries by currency within AR branch code. |
| Currency | Enable this to define interface entries by currency within AR branch code. |
This screen is displayed when you select the Validate option from the Functions menu.

| View entries | |
| Delete entries no longer valid | Select this to delete interface entries that are no longer valid. |
| Check for missing entries | Select this to display all missing interface entries, based on the level of integration defined. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Save | Select this icon to save the changes made in the listview grid. |
| Delete | Select this icon to delete the ledger interface entry currently highlighted in the listview. |
| Maintain | Select this icon to maintain the ledger interface entry currently highlighted in the listview. |
| Print SRS Report | Select this to use the AR Currency Variance Interface Listing program to generate a report of the interface entries currently defined. |
| Select this to generate a report of the contents currently displayed in the listview. | |
| Customer branch | Displays the Accounts Receivable branch for the interface entry. |
| Currency | Displays the currency within the branch for the interface entry. This is only displayed if you selected to define interface entries by currency within branch level. |
| Realized variance | Displays the General Ledger interface account for the branch/currency combination for all realized losses/gains due to currency variances. |
| Unrealized variance | Displays the General Ledger interface account for the
branch/currency combination for all unrealized losses/gains
due to currency variances. This column is only available in a SQL environment as the data in this column is from a field that was only added to the SQL table. In C-ISAM this column is disabled. |
This pane is enabled when you select the Maintain icon in the AR Variance Interface Details listview.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Apply Changes | Create the ledger interface entries according to your selections and the information entered. Changes are only applied when all fields are valid. |
| Cancel | Ignores any changes made. |
| Branch | Indicate the AR branches for which to maintain interface entries. |
| Currency | Indicate the currency(ies) for which to maintain
interface entries. This option is only enabled when defining integration by Currency within Branch. |
| Options | |
| Apply default general ledger codes | Enable this to automatically enter the
Exchange rate variance account
(General Ledger Integration) into the Realized variance
field below. You typically use this option if you only wanted to define a few ledger accounts differently at branch level to the ledger account codes defined at default level in the General Ledger Integration program. You can then change only the few entries that are different. |
| General ledger account | |
| Realized variance | Indicate the ledger code to which actual calculated
exchange rate variances must be posted for the selected
branches and currency(ies). These variances are the actual
expense in the case of an exchange rate loss, or the actual
income/revenue in the case of an exchange rate gain. This should be an expense/revenue type account. When defined, this account is used:
When the Realized variance account is not defined, the variances are posted to the account specified in the Exchange rate variance field of the General Ledger Integration program. |
| Realized description | This is the description for the realized variance account. |
| Unrealized variance | Indicate the ledger code to which unrealized currency
exchange rate variances must be posted. This should be an
expense/revenue type account. This account is used for currency exchange variances arising from:
When invoices that were revalued using the AR Exchange Rate Revaluation program are paid, the provisional variances raised by the exchange rate revaluation are reversed to this account, and the actual calculated exchange rate variance (per the payment) is posted to the Realized variance account. |
| Unrealized description | This is the description for the unrealized variance account. |
This program can be accessed from the Variance interfaces field of the General Ledger Integration program.
If you do not define the interface ledger accounts using this program, then all currency exchange variances are posted to the Exchange rate variance account defined in the General Ledger Integration program.
