Fully paid invoice in a foreign currency still showing balance due

this invoice was fully paid in 2019 but still shows balance due. Currency is SEK.

 

Actual invoice shows $0 balance due which is correct.

 

However, it shows a huge outstanding balance in everywhere else. the currency rate was correct in both invoices and when the payment was applied. However, somehow the system worked out a huge currency gain and loss.

 

This transaction was from 2018/2019, our book is unreconciled since then but need to be fixed now. I cannot go back to edit/delete.

 

it makes our receivable reconciliation is out of balance.

    Hi hannahdek 

     

    Welcome to the Community Forum. The outstanding balance would likely be due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, so as you mentioned, yes - you would be looking at recording an unrealized gains and losses transaction before you reconcile.

     

    For detailed steps on how to do that see our Help Article on the topic: Unrealised currency gain or loss.
