The exchange rate on the date of bill of lading (For purchase on FOB contract) should be used for accounting for purchase. Thereafter if there is a variation it should be expensed to P&L account as exchange loss.

"As per AS 11-transactions should b converted at closing exchnge rate at the period end , however if the rate is unrealistic then the transaction may be converted at the rate which is realizable."
here when can the rate be unrealistic.
