09 February 2009 When you book the invoice. Take the rate on that date and pass the entries.

Debtors 1000
To sales 1000

When it is actually credited to your account in indian ruppees you pass the entry

Bank 1005
To debtors 1000
To Profit on exchange flucuation 5

or
Bank 990
Loss on exchange fluctuation 10
To Debtors 1000
