new account doesn't give the option for another currency. What's wrong?

On other companies we have, it gives the options of the currency for a new account. On my personal account when creating a new account it does not give the option, even having multi currencies.

new account doesn't give the option for another currency. What's wrong?

In the Chart of Accounts, the following Account Types don't have the Currency field after turning on the Multicurrency feature in QuickBooks Online, stomazsewski.

 

  • Accounts Receivable (A/R)
  • Accounts Payable (A/P)
  • Equity
  • Cost of Goods Sold
  • Income
  • Other Income
  • Expense
  • Other Expense

Meanwhile, these are the Account Types where you can assign individual currencies:

 

  • Other Current Assets
  • Bank
  • Fixed Assets
  • Other Assets
  • Credit Card
  • Other Current Liabilities
  • Long Term Liabilities

 

Make sure you choose the appropriate Account Types when creating accounts to correctly categorize future transactions. To know more about how multicurrency works, you can check out this article: Set up and use Multicurrency in QuickBooks Online.
