Hello,
My home currency is USD and I recently linked my account to a UK checking account to my account. I received an A/R payment in GBP that I'd like to categorize under Accounts Receivable. However, when I try to do this, I'm getting the following error:
"You can only use home currency balance sheet accounts with home currency A/R and A/P accounts."
I'm trying to create an A/R in GBP but I don't see the option to change currency in a dropdown menu.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here please? Screenshots for both are found below.
Thank you!

Your confusion ends here, @ellochewy.
Allow me to fill you in on everything you need to know about creating an Accounts Receivable (A/R) account with a different currency.
QuickBooks only allows you to associate different currencies when creating the Other Current Assets, Bank, Fixed Assets, Other Assets, Credit Card, Other Current Liabilities, and Long-Term Liabilities accounts.
However, QuickBooks will automatically create an A/R account depending on the currency associated with your customer. For example, when you create an invoice for a customer with GBP currency, an A/R account will show on your Chart of Accounts with GBP currency.
You might want to group your Accounts Receivable account types. This article will guide you through the steps: How to group Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable account types.
