as per your explanation it seems that you are doing correct entry, however you should transfer the gain/loss on purchase sale by opening Exchange Fluctuation A/c and net amount will reflect in P&L Account.

HI,

At time of booking foreign purchase, pls refer the exchange rate from Bill of Entry, while making payment pls refer the bank payment advice note
