Currencies Subtask

Use this subtask of the Manage Vendors screen to set up defaults, by vendor, for use in Multicurrency.

Use this subtask only for those vendors that do not fully participate in your functional currency. Either they send you bills in a currency that is different from your functional currency or they expect payment from you in a different currency. You can update this information at any time.

  • After you post an Accounts Payable voucher, you cannot edit the transaction currency for that voucher.
  • After you post a check or EFT payment, you cannot edit the pay currency for that voucher payment.
