Selling Rate – Specified Rate

Selling rate is your selling rate (as opposed to bank's selling rate) used for receipt voucher entry where you receive foreign exchange.

This is the rate obtained from your banker or also available in the daily newspaper. Once the Selling Rate is specified in the Rates of Exchange menu, while entering a foreign exchange transaction, the rates are defaulted automatically. However, you can alter the rate as required.

The actual rate at which the currency was last used is displayed and cannot be changed.

The specified rate is used for calculating foreign exchange variances only in case where there is no standard rate.

Buying Rate – Specified Rate

Buying Rate is your buying rate (as opposed to bank's buying rate) used in payment vouchers.

The actual rate at which the currency was last used is displayed and cannot be changed.

The specified rate is used for calculating foreign exchange variances only in case where there is no standard rate.

Note: Tally.ERP 9 automatically calculates Forex Gain or Loss for foreign exchange transactions using the standard rates, specified rates and actual transaction rates specified in the Rates of Exchange menu.
