Unrealized and Realized Currency Gains

Due to the timing of multi-currency transactions in a single entity, realized and unrealized transactions are classified. The split between what is classified as realized and unrealized currency gains will be different on Syft compared to what is on Sage.

This is due to the difference in timing of when Syft fetches the data from Sage and the timing of when Sage calculates the value. However, the sum of the accounts will be correct. So it's simply the split between what is realized and unrealized that will differ.

Refreshes

Data in Sage entities is refreshed every 24 hours. If any changes are made to the data in a period more than 12 months ago, you will need to reconnect the entity to Syft. This can be done by clicking "Add entity" and proceeding with Sage. This will reload all data within the entity.
