Question

Small balance in foreign currency A/P account on balance sheet will not go away

I'm using Quickbooks Desktop Premier 2012.  When I run the balance sheet for my company, it shows a negative $0.90 balance in one of my foreign A/P accounts. This is only when I run the sheet in cash basis.  When I run it in accrual, every thing is fine.  I believe the -$0.90 is from a combination of small rounding differences between the foreign amount and the home currency, like a penny here and there.  Under account transactions, when the account is zeroed out under the foreign balance, the home currency balance shows a small difference.  I think this is caused by paying multiple invoices from the same vendor, with one large check. QB just rounds up the value after it applies the exchange rate.  I've tried everything but I can't get this to go away.  I've tried manual journal entries, but it doesn't work.  Multi currency is enabled.

I appreciate you sharing the details and for your efforts to resolve the foreign currency balance issue in your QuickBooks Desktop, Steve.

 

You're right that these types of issues often stem from rounding differences when dealing with multi-currency transactions, and it seems like you've already taken several steps to try to resolve them on your own.

 

Since the journal entries you tried didn’t resolve the issue, I recommend contacting our Live Support team directly. They have access to advanced tools that can thoroughly review each transaction in your foreign currency A/P account to identify and correct the exact cause of the rounding difference.

 

Here's how to connect with them:

 

  1. Inside your QuickBooks Desktop, navigate to the Help menu.
  2. Choose the QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us option.
  3. Enter the question, keyword, or topic you need help with.
  4. Follow the prompts, then choose a way to connect with us.

 

Please note that our support hours for QuickBooks Desktop Premier are Monday to Friday, from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific Time.
