Per SFAS 52, foreign currency translation gain/loss is recorded as Other
Comprehensive Income, which is a balance sheet account within equity.  In GEAC,
you tell the system what account you want the foreign currency gain/loss posted.
 However, the issue is that GEAC only allows you to post the gain/loss to an
income statement account, not a balance sheet account.

Does anyone have a workaround without programming?

Seems to be just an edit check in the program not allowing posting to a balance
sheet account.  Has anyone removed the edit check in the program to allow
posting to a balance sheet account, and were there any other problems later.

Thanks.
