Realized FX gains and losses from currency conversions?

APOAPO Member Posts: 3

Hi Community

I'm a freelance consultant based in Canada and I receive payments in USD. When I sell USD for CAD I expect Wave to compute realized foreign exchange gains and losses, however the system doesn't do that.

I think many freelance consultants are doing FX transactions, so I wonder how do you get around that missing feature? (August 2021)

    Hi @APO

    I am a waveproadvisor Accountant in Camada as well.

    There are “workarounds” to do this in wave. Not very easy nor convenient, but is possible.

    This article explain a little, that can be adapted to your requirement.
