Is there a way to set up a supplier as a US$ account. The home currency is CDN and the multicurrecy is turned on

Hi Dlmm324,

Once you have the multicurrency feature turned on, QuickBooks Online enables you to choose among a myriad of currencies when setting up customers and suppliers. I'll be happy to show you how. 

 To add a supplier with their foreign currency is a pretty straightforward process.

1. From the left menu, go to Expenses.
2. Choose Suppliers, then New Supplier.
3. Enter the supplier's name and other info.
4. From the I pay this supplier with ▼ dropdown menu, select the currency you use for this supplier.
5. Select the Default expense account if you'd like and Save.

You're now ready to record transactions in the currency you pay your supplier with. For more on how to set up suppliers with a foreign currency in the system, check out this article: Add a supplier with a foreign currency in QuickBooks Online

I hope this helps! Feel free to stop by if you need anything else.

As another option, you may utilize one of these services to pay your bills. You may keep pay it in CAD and your vendor will receive the payment in USD.

Hello,

Same question, is it possible to set USD as a default currency for all new suppliers so I don't have to manually change in the dropdown menu?

Thanks,

Thanks for you interest with knowing more about the Multicurrency feature, @Mazdak.

At the moment, the system defaults to the Home currency when creating suppliers. The preference to set this to a different currency is currently unavailable. You will need to manually change the selection for now.
