CURRENCY BALANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

Use this screen to access General Ledger cash accounts in order to make adjustments to foreign currency. You can make online adjustments to bank balances for reasons such as service charges or fluctuations in the exchange rate.

You can also use this screen to see your General Ledger cash accounts expressed in both your company's functional currency and the currency in which the account is denominated.

Before using this screen, you must have first set up the bank and EFT information in the Maintain Company Bank Accounts screen. It is important that you have the correct bank abbreviations linked to the cash accounts before posting any cash transactions. This will allow easier bank reconciliations when working with multiple currencies.
