Hi member of this community,
We have multi currency accounts and our system is synced with Wise. I am facing problem when recording funds transfer from our Euro account to CAD account while our base currency is GBP.
The message displayed is
Definitely, yes, I can guide you through recording the funds to foreign currency in QuickBooks Online, artizians.
The system won't record the funds with a foreign currency to a different foreign currency account. That is why the error is showing on your end. To avoid getting that error message, let's make sure to record the funds to the same currency account or use your home currency bank account.
As initial steps to fix this, your customer/vendor profile should also be set to the correct currency. Here's how:
However, if you have created a customer profile already and utilise the Record as transfer option from the bank feed, you can create a dummy home currency account (GBP) to move the funds.
Then, transfer the funds from the home currency account to the CAD account. Here's how:

help me im facing the same problem
I understand that you're experiencing an issue when recording a funds transfer from your Euro account to your CAD account in QuickBooks Online (QBO), while your base currency is GBP, Malek Fandouli.
In QBO, we cannot directly move amounts from foreign currencies without using the home currency as a partner account. This is why you're getting this error message.
When recording funds transfer, you'll have to make sure that we select the same currency for the vendor's profile and the Account. You can check out this article to learn more about how to transfer funds in QBO. This way, you'll be able to recognize it easily in the register: Transfer funds between accounts.
Don't hesitate to post again if you have any other questions about currency. I'm always here to help. Have a good one.

I can help and guide you thoroughly in recording the amounts with different currencies in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Malek.
My peers in this thread are correct that we're unable to directly record fund transfers with multi-currencies without using the home currency account. Instead, we can record the fund transfers from your Euro to GBP accounts. Then, transfer the amount from GBP to your Canadian Dollar account.
Before that, please make sure to turn on your multi-currency setting to allow your company file to set other currencies in your accounts. Then, to accurately record the same amounts when transferring funds, you'll want to check the exchange rates during the transaction created.
Since we will need to move funds into your home currency before transferring them into a Canadian Dollar transaction, let's create a clearing account set in GBP or your home currency. Clearing accounts are used to move money from one account to another account when you cannot move the money directly.
Here's how:
To start recording the transactions, let's go over to your Euro account and locate the funds. I'll show you how:
Lastly, let's move the funds from your barter account to your Canadian account:
Now you have moved the amount, we can manually upload a transaction to match the transferred funds. Please go to your Canadian Account from the Banking tab and follow the steps in this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.
Alternatively, you can directly Exclude the transaction from your Euro account and manually import this into the Canadian account.
After that, manually calculate the amount to enter into your Excel file and import this to your Canadian Account bank feeds.
Moreover, I still recommend consulting with your accountant to get you guided along the process.
Furthermore, learn to reconcile your account to keep your books accurate and prevent discrepancies.
