What is a Home Currency Adjustment?
Home currency adjustments recalculate your international balances in your home currency using a new exchange rate. Your balance sheet accounts are impacted by these adjustments. Your reports reflect the home currency worth of your foreign balances based on the exchange rates you used at the time of each transaction until you recalculate it using the current exchange rates.
You can enter a home currency adjustment at the end of a reporting period when you need your financial reports to reflect the current home currency value of your foreign balances.

Why is there a Line for Previous Unrealized Gain or Loss on the Transaction Report?
The Transaction Report shows an entry for Previous Unrealized Gain or Loss for accounts having open foreign transactions (either Account Payable or Accounts Receivable).
In order for QuickBooks Online to display the appropriate unrealized gain or loss for the current reporting period, this row reverses the unrealized gain or loss from the current reporting period.
The Previous Gain or Loss row does not display on the Transaction Report for foreign bank accounts since realized profits or losses do not need to be reversed across periods.
