Date Sale is 01.05.17 $100.00 and payment received in 01.06.17 $100.00 we recorded in tally 
1) sales entry 
Party X a/c Dr......Rs.6100  (as per shipping bill amount) 
To Sales a/c.......Rs.6100
 
2) we received payment on 01.06.17 $100.00 my EEFC account
Bank A/c Dr......Rs.6100
To Party X a/c...Rs.6100
 
Please suggest the second entry INR amount taken on the party actual outstanding on that invoice amount(Rs.6100) not on that date of exchange rate. is it correct or not
my major doubt is actual the party payable $100 and received $100(we have foreign currency a/c) there is no foreign exchange done in this case, so why we taken foreign exchange loss or gain.
