As mostly it may be because of purchase entry not booked. But this diff should not be there if you are working on a software. On top of that there must have been diff in other account too.

10 September 2009 yes
the entry would be

purchase a/c dr
to creditor

but Mr. Somani, if we deemed that purchase entry is not made than how the creditor get stands in her books.

in this case the rate diff. is nothing but the excess cost you would pay for purchase of goods from ur creditor.
