04 August 2010 Hi,

We transact all the foriegn payments currencies through FC A/C .

We normally accumulate the foriegn currecny whenever rate is good and use them when required.

Now , when we buy this foriegn currecny @ what rate we shall book?currently we book it at actual rate now ... pls advice me the currect treatment.

futher, @ what rate we shall book the supplier ? ie. costing the shipment. we use average rate of currency we bought
earlier .

also let me know at what rate we should make the payment for settling supplier ?
we use average rate of currency we bought earlier .

should i close this account every month by appying the actual closing rate and difference transfering to Forex loss/gain a/c?

kindly advice me here or @
