After you click Start, Exact Globe Next calculates the new cost price based on the pre-selected valuation method and you will see the Revaluation screen.
The Revaluation screen displays the list of items with their current and new value. You need to specify the profit & loss account to record the revaluation value of the items. You can also process the items by pressing the F2 key and then selecting the profit & loss account from the available list, or typing the general ledger account number under the respective lines at the Profit & Loss account column and then clicking Process.
By default, the entry number is automatically updated by Exact Globe Next. The entry number is the journal entry number used to register the new item value in the general ledger.
By default, the reference date is automatically updated from the criteria specified in System ➔ Logistics ➔ Revaluation. The reference date is the date the new value will be registered as in the general ledger.
Type a description to provide more details of the revaluation. For example, a suitable description is the purpose for this revaluation.

By default, this column displays the value which is the value of the item before starting the revaluation.
By default, this column displays the new value which is the value of the item after the revaluation using the specified valuation method.
By default, this column displays the revaluation which is the difference between the new value and previous value (New value - Value).
By default, this column displays the new value after the revaluation to show if it is a profit or a loss. If the revaluation is a positive amount, then the value is a profit. Otherwise, the value is a loss.
You can select the profit & loss account which is the general ledger account that will be used to register the revaluation amount (difference between the new and old value) for the corresponding item. By default, the account displayed is defined in Price differences account under the Purchase tab at System ➔ Logistics ➔ Item groups.
You can select the purchase account which is the general ledger account that will be used to register the new inventory value for the corresponding item. By default, the account displayed is defined in Stock under the Financial tab at Inventory ➔ Items ➔ Maintain.
You can select the revaluation date to register the revaluation transaction. By default, it is pre-filled with the last revaluation transaction date before the selected reference date.
It is possible to void a revaluation transaction for the item prior to the selected reference date. To void a revaluation transaction, click on the Revaluation date column and press F2 or F5.
