<u><b>Answer :</b></u>

1)	First, you must deal with both sides (companies) the amount agreed to be offset. For example: Debtor offset USD1000, Creditor offset MYR 4500.

2)	Create <span style='color:red'>A/R Credit Note USD 1000</span> for the Debtor A/C to knock off outstanding invoice. For the <span style='color:red'>“Debit Account”</span> you may choose <span style='color:red'>Contra Account</span> and tick <span style='color:red'>‘Is Credit Journal’</span>. The <span style='color:red'>currency exchange rate</span> is <span style='color:red'>4.5000</span> (Calculation = 4500/1000) as agreed.
