If you purchase from a vendor in one currency and submit payment in another currency, you can apply the payment to the purchase.
If you apply an entry (Entry 1) in one currency to an entry (Entry 2) in a different currency, the program uses the posting date on Entry 1 to find the relevant exchange rate to convert amounts on Entry 2. The program finds the relevant exchange rate in the Currency Exchange Rates window.

When you apply entries in different currencies to one another, the program converts the entries to LCY. Even though the exchange rates for the two relevant currencies are fixed, for example between DEM and EUR, there may be a small residual amount when the program converts these foreign-currency amounts to LCY. The program posts these small residual amounts as gains and losses to the account specified in the Realized Gains Account or Realized Losses Account field in the Currencies window. The program also adjusts the Amount (LCY) field on the relevant vendor ledger entries.
