Let me share some insights on how exchange rates work in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
The exchange rate is the number of home currency units to one foreign currency unit. QBO uses exchange rates to show how much a foreign currency transaction is in your home currency value. Where the foreign currency values are automatically updated every 4 hours in QuickBooks from Wall Street On Demand. Then the program then downloads and uses exchange rates from IHS Markit, an information services company.
Since you don't want to update the exchange rate until you change it, we can manually enter your own exchange rates to use them for foreign currency transactions. Here's how to enter them on your QuickBooks Online (QBO) Essentials, Plus or Advanced version:
To use your rate for multiple foreign currency transactions, just update the rate in your currencies list. The program uses your new exchange rate for foreign currency transactions you enter for the day.
We can use the exchange rate for the whole day and re-enter it if you want to use it again. Once you save the changes, the currencies list shows the date and time it was updated, the new exchange rate, and who made the update.
