Description
You use this report program to determine the book values for yourforeign currency loans.

Precondition
Before you can run this program, you may need to:
create new flow types
allocate programmed flow types
maintain posting specifications
The following settings are required:
Flow types

• Write-up / Write-down

Write-down,,Flow category 'XD',,Activity indicator '08'
Write-up,,,,Flow category 'XD',,Activity indicator '07'

• Reset

If you want to use the function 'Reset valuation at key date +1', youneed to create reset flow types:
Reset write-down,,,,Flow category 'XD_R',,Activity category '07'
Reset write-up,,,,Flow category 'XD_R',,Activity category '08'

• Translation

You need to create two 'translation' flow types (see 'Dependentfunctions' below):
Translation write-down,,Flow category 'XF',,Activity category '08'
Translation write-up,,,,Flow category 'XF',,Activity category '07'
Programmed flow types
Here, you need to enter the flow types and corresponding flowcategories.

Dependent_functions
After the book values have been changed by the valuation program, thesystem automatically calculates the rate gains when the cash flow isgenerated and creates new 'translation' flow records.
The system calculates the realized rate gain on the basis of thedifference between the value of the position outflow in local currencyand the book value in local currency (partial book value correspondingto the position outflow). Any changes to the book value which resultfrom previous valuations are not taken into account.
The 'translation' amount is the proportion of valuations already madein relation to the position outflow. The total of the rate gain andtranslation amount is the 'effective' rate gain on the originalacquisition value.
