Summary
Occasionally, you may have to deal with a supplier/customer in a different currency. The following article explains how this achieved.
More Information
In this example, we are going to deal with the process of posting a purchase invoice and then paying it off.
- Post the purchase invoice onto the purchase ledger in the normal way, however, convert the currency to sterling before you post on the amount.
- When the time comes to pay the supplier, perform a currency conversion at that days rate and do a part payment. (It is assumed at this point that there has been a difference in the exchange rate from when the invoice was posted on to when the invoice was paid)
- Any amount left over, or over paid needs to be payed off to a nominal code called currency fluctuation. For help creating a code, see here
