How to add a foreign currency to an existing Vendor?

It's nice to have you in the Community, @Sc0. I'd be delighted to assist you in adding a foreign currency to the existing vendors in QuickBooks Online. 

In the meantime, you can’t change the currency of a vendor once you’ve added transactions with them. As a workaround, I’d suggest making the existing vendor profile inactive and adding the vendor again with their foreign currency. Here’s how: 

1. Go to Get paid & pay or Expenses, then select Vendors.
2. Select Vendors, then New vendor.
3. Enter the vendor's name and other info.
4. From the I pay this vendor with ▼ dropdown menu, select the currency you use to pay this vendor.
5. Click Save when you’re done.

There are instance where same vendor paid in different currencies. For example, Airline company charge us with the local currency from whichever country we are flying from. How do we add multiple currencies for single vendor in this case?

It's good that you're interested in adding multiple currencies to a single vendor, Zale.

In QuickBooks, we cannot associate one vendor profile with multiple currencies. However, you can create a separate profile for the same vendor and assign the appropriate currency to each profile. Here's how:

1. Navigate to Expenses and then Vendors. 
2. Click on the New button. 
3. Choose a different currency in the Currency field. 
4. Enter the vendor's name, making it slightly different by adding extra or special characters. 
5. Finally, click Save.

Another way you might consider is finding a third-party application that can assist in managing a single vendor profile across multiple currencies.
