Import purchases
exchage rate = bill of entry custom exchange rate
date of booking may be bill of entry date / MRN date/inv date as the case may be
it all depends on your purchase terms(Wheher it is ex-works, or FOB, CIF)
what ever it is
transaction of import should be recognised when all risks and rewards of ownership transfered to company

Note:
if purchases is asset it should be adjusted to cost of asset as per AS11 and should not treat fluctuation as income or expence
