I followed all your recommendations and I am still having the same problem. Can you help me? This problem happens only on September inforamtion. The other months are Ok.
Hello there, Emilio.
From what you’ve described, it seems like QuickBooks Online is not recognizing or using the exchange rates for your September transactions. Since other months are working fine, this issue is specific to how the exchange rates were applied or updated for September. When QuickBooks doesn’t have the proper exchange rate applied, the report may default to showing the transaction in its original foreign currency.
To adjust the exchange rates, follow these steps:

I followed your instructions regarding "Revalue Currency" for the correct date.
But the revenue that shows at Profit & Loss report is still wrong (it shows original amount in Reais instead od Dollar). This revenue is a deferred revenue (12 months) that was created in beginning of 2025.
I appreciate the prompt response, Emilio.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), exchange rates may not automatically apply to Journal Entries unless the entries are linked to a foreign-currency-specific account. When you initially recorded the deferred revenue at the beginning of the year, QuickBooks converted the amount from Brazilian Reais (BRL) to US Dollars (USD) using the exchange rate on that date, locking in the USD value of the deferred revenue.
However, if you later move amounts manually from the Deferred Revenue account to the Income account via Journal Entry without properly involving foreign currency accounts, QuickBooks won't apply an exchange rate. Instead, it will transfer the amount as it was originally recorded, using the same USD value set at the time of receiving the deferred revenue.
While it involves creating and reviewing the journal entry you've created, I'd recommend consulting your accountant. They can look into this matter and guide in resolving the Profit and Loss report that shows the original amount
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out anytime. I’m here to help.
Hi JoesemM,
I did not move move amounts manually from the Deferred Revenue account to the Income account via Journal Entry.
We have just created deferred revenue (in Reais) by the begining of the year. QuickBooks, every month, puts this monthly revenue in Dollars (it was correct until August). For September it is wrong - P&L report shows the amount in original currency, instead of Dollar. There was no manual action.
If you look at the attached file (File 1) September Software Revenue licenses is wrong (it is adding amounts in reais). If you look at attached File 2), for example, Revenue from Ipiranga and Atlantica are in Reais, instead of Dollars. As I said there as no manual action from August to September.
I attached File 2 - next reply

Since there was no manual intervention with the amounts, and the Profit and Loss report still isn't converting the original currency despite my colleague's troubleshooting, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online (QBO) live support team.
