Matching Foreign Currency Documents - WUI

How to Match Two Foreign-Currency Documents to Each Other in the Web Interface?

Written by Petr Pech

The web interface is more user-friendly for pairing two foreign-currency documents (that is, documents where the document currency of both differs from the company's domestic currency).

It is more user-friendly because it automatically creates any exchange rate differences. In the desktop application, you need to use a mutual offset instead. The procedure for the desktop application is described in a separate guide.

Let's take a look at a simple example of this kind of pairing in the web interface.

Example

For this demonstration, we will pair two documents whose CZK values are approximately the same:

  • Bank (incoming payment): 1050 [USD]

  • Issued invoice: 1000 [EUR]

The value of the bank transaction corresponds to CZK 23,128.35, and the value of the invoice corresponds to CZK 23,520.

So, from the bank transaction, we pair the payment with the bank. You can find details on pairing payments themselves in our guide.

In the form that opens after you click the "Pay document" button, you can select the relevant issued invoice and specify what should happen with any remaining amount. In our case, we will select the option for full payment and posting of the remainder.

We confirm the completion of the payment and open the relations of the relevant payment (or the paired invoice). In the relations, we will find the exchange rate difference that was created automatically (provided that the internal document type for creating exchange rate differences is set in the company settings).

As you can see, the exchange rate difference was created for an amount that corresponds to the difference in CZK between the paired documents, which is CZK 391.65.

After completion, the payment currency changes to EUR, with the corresponding conversion to CZK.
