Foreign exchange variations occur every day with different selling and buying rates. You can record the rate of currency applicable for a particular date and use it in transactions. The standard rate, selling rate, and buying rate can be updated from the Multi-Currency Alteration screen. Tally.ERP 9 automatically calculates Forex Gain or Loss for foreign exchange transactions using the rates specified in the Multi-Currency Alteration screen.
