A trial balance is a trial and can’t project fx? lol. Don’t answer questions if you don’t know the very BASIS of accounting! Your financial statements are built off your Trial Balance. If there are discrepancies something is wrong! 

this is 100% a glitch in qbs that I have dealt with for 8 years now. I created my own AR usd revaluation account and my own AP usd revaluation account as well as my own unrealized exchange gain loss account and every time I revalue my foreign currrncy, I open the balance sheet and look at the amounts showing for ap and ar and then book the difference between that and what is showing on the (incorrect) trial balance to those respective new accounts I created with the other side going to unrealized fix. 

what’s nuts is that the unrealized amounts for foreign cash, credit cards, and any other assets and liabilities all get booked to Exchange gain Loss without a problem when you do the valuation(even though these are Unrealized but quick books mashes them in with the realized fx …it’s a mess!)

I book it separately to my Unrealzied Gain Loss account simply so it’s easy for me at each period to open my Profit & Loss statement, click to enable Unrealizes Gain Loss, and then the P&L shows the quickbooks Unrealized fx gain loss line and I can make sure it matches what I booked to my Unrealized Gain Loss account. This isan extra check to make sure everything reconciles. Took me years to figure this all out and come up with this method but I can tell you it works!
