How to disable unadjusted forex gain/loss in Tally Prime

Explore How to disable unadjusted: mechanics, differences, limitations, and practical checks.

Direct answer

In Tally Prime, “unadjusted forex gain/loss” generally refers to currency differences that are not yet matched, settled, or revalued in a way that your reports treat as adjusted. Since Tally Prime setup differs by company configuration, there is no single universal switch I can name here. The practical way to disable or remove its appearance is to change the accounting basis that drives forex difference reporting and then confirm in the specific report view you use.

How it works (what to verify first)

Unadjusted forex gain/loss tends to show up when one or more of these are true:

  1. The company has transactions in a foreign currency, but the forex revaluation/adjustment process has not been applied for the period you are viewing.
  2. Existing entries (such as outstanding balances or related effects) are present, but the report you opened is showing them in an “unadjusted” bucket.
  3. Report settings are set to include currency differences that are not considered adjusted under your chosen accounting method.

To “disable” it, you are usually not turning off the concept of forex differences—you are changing what the report includes or ensuring that the forex differences are booked in the adjusted manner before reporting.

If you are not sure what drives it in your case, use the same report for three checks:

  • Change only one variable (for example, the report period).
  • Keep the same ledger, currency, and grouping.
  • Compare totals across time to see whether the unadjusted portion disappears after revaluation/adjustment is performed.

Example checks (find the option or confirm it’s driven by entries)

Use this comparison method:

  1. Note the period and the exact report name where “unadjusted forex gain/loss” appears.
  2. Identify whether the report has filters such as “show currency differences,” “include outstanding,” or “adjusted/unadjusted” style toggles. If present, turn off the unadjusted bucket.
  3. If there is no visible report filter, the unadjusted portion is likely driven by postings already in the books. In that case, review whether forex revaluation/adjustment has been run for the same period.

A useful side-by-side approach:

  • Run the report once before you change settings.
  • Apply your change (report filter or accounting action).
  • Run the report again with the same period and compare whether only the “unadjusted” component changes.

If totals change broadly, your change affected more than just presentation, which means the underlying adjustments may not align with what you intended.

Limitations and risks

  • The exact menu path or toggle name depends on your Tally Prime version and your company configuration; without those details, only general verification steps can be stated safely.
  • “Disabling” display does not necessarily remove the accounting impact; it may only hide a component of the report.
  • Future results cannot be inferred: what appears as unadjusted today can change after later adjustments or revaluation runs.
  • If you cannot locate a specific option, assume the amount is being produced by existing vouchers/entries and confirm that the adjustment process for the period is completed.
