what type of accounts...

what type of accounts are PO gain /loss account

Normally gain means i think revenue and loss means expense

Can some one clarify please

Did you mean xchange rate

Did you mean xchange rate gain loss \

if yes then Most companies use the same account for both gain and loss.
in that case it does not matter if u take this a/c as revenue or expense

but if you decides to use two differnt accounts then both the accounts should of same type - i.e either both gain & loss as revenue / or expense.

This is to provide the flexibility
If one organization wants to track the exchgane rate gain/loss in differnt accounts then it can do so.

Not sure if thats a statutory requirement
