C/T differences caused by BS items w/o Mov.types

Question

Hello,
How should the currency translation method be defined in order to expose translation differences from BS items like accounts receivable (w/o movement types) caused both by OB and by fluctuations of exchange rate in a period?
Here is an example.
Closing balance as per 31/12/08 in LC.....80.000
Closing balance as per 31/01/09 in LC.....95.000
Exchange rates:
31/12/08............4.0
31/01/09............4.2
average 1/09......4.1
Translation diff. from OB.............................. -952
Translation diff. from changes of a period........ -87 (changes in period, diff. between Average and Current rate)
Total impact on Translation Adjustment......-1.039
Value in BS............................................ 22.619
BW based (BI7 with BCS 6.0). I will really appreciate your help!

Not exactly so. The C/T difference should appear when different items are translated at the different rate types or rates themselves.
I assume that the average rate is your reference rate? Then, for example, if all your B/S items are translated absolutely equally, then the CTD shouldn't occur at all, even if the specific rate and the reference rate are different:
