If an exchange rate difference exists for an entry, the batch job creates a new detailed customer or vendor ledger entry with an Entry Type of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, which reflects the adjusted amount on the customer or vendor ledger entry.

Example below shows the effect on Customer ledger entries

Amount (LCY) before exchange rate adjustment = 12.50 x 10.925 = 136.56

Amount (LCY) after exchange rate adjustment = 12.50 x 11.235 = 140.44
