In the following example, an invoice is received on January 1 with the currency amount of 1000. This unrealized gain or loss is then reversed, and the realized gain or loss is posted instead. It is not until now the realized gain or loss is calculated. Later, the invoice is paid, and the bank has returned with the actual currency rate for the payment. However, since the invoice has not been paid yet, the gain or loss is considered unrealized. The new LCY amount might be higher or lower than the previous amount and will therefore represent a gain or a loss. The currency adjustment is necessary because the new LCY value that is required to cover the invoice amount might be different, and the company debt to the vendor has potentially changed. If the due date of the invoice extends to the next month, you might also have to revaluate the local currency (LCY) amount at the end of the month. This issue in combination with the fact that bank currency rates always differ from the official currency rates makes it impossible to anticipate the exact local currency (LCY) amount that is required to cover the invoice. However, the invoice often comes with payment terms so you can delay the payment to a later date, which implies a potentially different currency rate. When you receive an invoice from a company in a foreign currency, it is fairly easy to calculate the local currency (LCY) value of the invoice based on today's currency rate.
