Customer Forex Gain (CFX+)
Overview
The Customer Forex Gain transaction addresses the financial impact of Currency Exchange Rate fluctuations on international customer Payments. When a customer Payment is received in a foreign currency and the exchange rate is favourable, the converted amount in the local currency may exceed the original Invoice value. This results in a Forex Gain. This Transaction Type is essential for businesses to track and report these gains accurately, ensuring that financial statements reflect the actual benefits derived from foreign exchange movements.
