These types of currency differences can occur: Currency differences Currency result caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate, for example, if the rate differs between the invoice date and the payment date. Exchange gain and loss Currency result caused by the use of different exchange rate types, for example, the Sales rate type and the Internal rate type, or if using the rate determiner you have changed the exchange rate for a transaction during the order handling procedure. Translation gain and loss Currency result caused by the use of different currencies during the order handling procedure, for example, if the order currency or the payment currency differs from the invoice currency. Destination gain and loss Currency result caused by different results when the transaction currency is converted to the various home currencies.

Currency Translation For transactions in which the debit posting and the credit posting are made in different currencies.
