How often does foreign currency adjust on balance sheet?

How often does waveapps convert foreign currency value to my home currency on the balance sheet?

Example.

My home currency is USD. I recieve $1000 CAD to my CAD bank in Jan 2020 and the balance sheet shows $750 USD (CAD/USD exchange that day was 0.75).

Now its Dec 2020. The $1000 CAD is still in my CAD bank. CAD/USD exchange is now 0.95. Will the balance sheet still show $750 USD, or $950 USD? Will waveapps treat this $1000 CAD is $750 USD perpetually regardless of exchange rate?

    Hey there @dontworryaboutit

    I've got a couple of good resources you can check out below:

    How foreign currency transactions look in Wave

    FAQ on foreign currency transactions

    When creating an invoice in a currency other than your business currency, a user is automatically shown the current exchange (an avg. for the day the invoice is created, sent by XE.com). Exchange rates are calculated as a daily average sent over from XE.com. For reports and transactions, users largely do not have the power to override these rates.

    You will likely see a foreign gain or loss showing up here which can be categorized to that account using a journal transaction.
