You can define the source and target accounts for automatic rate difference entries using the Automatic Rate Differences (ARD) custom template.

Note! Make sure that your definitions are valid. Invalid definitions can be created and no error or warning messages are shown. If you define non-existing accounts an error occurs and nothing is saved.

Automatic rate difference entries are calculated for type 1, 7, and 3 document series.

The source account can be an input account (internal or external), sum account, calculated account, or rate difference account. The rate difference account must be an external input account of the type Rate difference account and unique in the definitions.

Note! The currency conversion settings of the source and rate difference accounts must be different. If the source account is a sum level account, automatic rate difference entries are generated if any input sub-account has a different currency conversion setting than the rate difference account.

To delete a rule, remove either the source account or the rate difference account and save the template.

Note! If a definition is deleted, previously saved entries related to the deleted definition are deleted (except from locked periods) when data is saved for the source accounts or data calculations are run for a relevant combination. Note also that the entries cannot be edited or deleted manually.
