SaaS
FX Loss on USD-Denominated Payables
Recording an exchange loss when a USD vendor invoice (AWS, Google) is paid at a less favorable rate.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts Payable (USD Vendor) | Liability (-) | 10,000.00 | - |
| Foreign Exchange Loss | Expense (+) | 500.00 | - |
| Cash in Bank (Local Currency) | Asset (-) | - | 10,500.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
Non-US SaaS companies typically pay AWS and other cloud vendors in USD. If the local currency has weakened since the invoice date, they pay more in local currency terms — an FX loss.
