Question

multi currency

Hello,

 

I enabled multi currencies.  I think this was a big mistake!

One - so now my cash flow planner is disabled!!  That warning needs to pop up!!

Two - I need a different bank account for every currency?!

 

Am I misunderstanding what I am reading?  I need a bank account for each currency?   There is no conversion ability?  That makes no sense.  I don't want 6 different income banks.  

 

I feel like I am stuck with a mess. Is there any way to get the cash flow planner operational again?  

 

Thank you.

Hi Suzan, enabling Multicurrency indeed disables the Cash Flow Planner.

I understand how this warning might have felt sudden or easy to miss. I want to assure you that disclaimers are displayed when you enable the feature. QuickBooks Online provides these details because switching to Multicurrency cannot be reversed and permanently changes how some functions work.

Regarding your second concern, you don’t need separate bank accounts for every currency. Instead, you’ll assign a currency to each customer or vendor based on their transactions.

When you transact with them, simply enter an exchange rate to reflect the conversion. The program handles the calculations for you. Foreign currency values are automatically updated every 4 hours from Wall Street On Demand.

I know this change can feel overwhelming, but if you need help optimizing your setup or adjusting to Multicurrency, we’re here to assist you.

Hello,

I just wrote a long email and my authentication failed!!!
So. How does this work? I will be creating invoice in foreign currency. No idea what currency it will arrive in. If it is a wire, the bank will convert to USD. If a check, I will take to the bank and they will convert to USD. But the invoices have to be in foreign currency. So when I receive the money in USD and the invoice is in USD, what do I do? How does QBO convert? Can you explain the process?

Did you convert your data from QB Desktop? You might consider converting it again to a new QBO account. Then, migrate the rest of your data from your old QBO account or purchase a third-party migration service.
