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
