Unrealized Gain/Loss Record View
An Unrealized Gain or Loss occurs when the invoice/transaction amount owed has not been paid by the end of the accounting period and the outstanding balance of the invoice / transaction is revalued using a new exchange rate. An unrealized loss results in a Debit to the Unrealized Loss Account and an unrealized gain results in a Credit to the Unrealized Gain Account.
