Hello office138,

 

Yes, it is not recommended to use USD as the home currency for none-US users. Instead, select the home currency based on your location. You can browse these articles to know more about multicurrency in QuickBooks Online:

  2. Click the New button and select the Account Type and the Detail Type.
  3. Enter the Name and other necessary details.
  4. In the Currency field, select USD United States Dollar.
  5. Click Save and Close.

Here's how to create a USD customer profile:

  1. Click Sales on the left menu and go to the Customers tab.
  2. Select the New customer button and enter the necessary details.
  3. Go to the Payment and billing tab.

  5. Click Save.

If you are opening a QBO SG version, SGD will be your default home currency. You need to turn multi-currency feature on to set USD as the home currency.
