For capital assets it can be capitalized...

If the price grows expense it as a loss. If it decreases from the purchase date treat it as a gain. 

Capital assets. It may be transferred to capital reserve as per financial accounts.
Exchange gain loss pertaining to FY 17-18 & it is currently open in outstanding creditor ledger can we close in FY 22-23 .

Fx gain or loss is directly taken to euity or oci depending upon the recycling, first, subsequent treatments and balances in revaluation reserves. It cant be a liability. Make a rectification and transfer it off. 

If you meant owners equity ledger,
