You shall create debtors on the date of booking at the rate applicable on the date of transaction or date of bill of shipment whichever is earlier. As in your case f.y. has been changed hence on the closing of F.Y. you shall book profit or loss on a/c of foreign currency fluctuation i.e. rate booked minus rate on the closing of the year. Than on the date of payment you shall again book profit or loss on a/c of foreign currency fluctuation i.e. rate on the date of payment minus rate on the closing of the year.
