07 June 2011 As Per AS-11 Exchange rate should be on transaction date, when the goods are cleared then only you are said be received the goods hence it should be accounted on that date.

When you give the Advance account as per the rate as on that date, when you account the Asset on 25th February as on the date rate should be capitalized and Exchange fluctuation should be adjusted to Asset Account.
