Operation Choice

FieldDescription
Adjustment - Debit

Select this option to increase the bank account balance; interest earned is added here. This adjustment is converted to your company's functional currency.

A journal entry to keep the functional and bank account currencies in balance is automatically generated.

Adjustment - Credit

Select this option to decrease the bank account balance; service charges paid are subtracted here. This type of adjustment is converted to your company's functional currency.

A journal entry to keep the functional and bank account currencies in balance is automatically generated.

The journal entry uses the exchange rate that you select on the Exchange Rates subtask.

Revaluation

Select this option to revalue the bank amount to your company's functional currency using the rate defined in the Exchange Rates subtask.

Costpoint calculates revaluation based on the ending balance of the selected cash account for the specified period. The ending balance includes the beginning balance plus all transactions within the period.

Revaluation is performed on the total balance of the selected cash account and is not based on individual transactions.

Costpoint compares the functional currency value of this ending balance using the current exchange rate to the existing functional currency value.

The variance between the amounts is recorded as a journal entry:

  • The cash account is adjusted by the revaluation amount.
  • The offsetting amount is posted to the revaluation account you specify.

For example, if the revaluation increases the functional currency value of a cash account by 50.00, Costpoint posts +50.00 to the cash account and –50.00 to the revaluation account.
