Hi,
I have a Vendor Bill in Foreign Currency.
I want to Match it against 2 transactions in the Bank statement in Home currency.
But as I match 1 transaction, the balance amount doesn't show the bill to match against 2nd transaction.
But If the vendor bills were in the Home currency then I was able to match it against two transactions.
So how to do it with a foreign currency bill.
Pls guide.
Regards,
Navneet
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok, I found my answer.
What I did is, I went to Expense, select the bill in foreign currency, click schedule payment and choose the date (when it was paid in the bank), and choose less amount (say 15000 was a bill, so I choose 14000 (equivalent to 1 payment in the bank in Home currency) and mark as paid). Then save. Then again open the bill, mark it as paid and the balance amount will reflect 1000 so I did that with the date of 2nd bank payment.
Now go to the Bank review tab, and find a match and you will match this to bill payment 1 and bill payment 2 for both bank payments. The currency will auto adjust.
This is a bit lengthy process but it works. QB needs to do something like allow match of 2 bank transactions with 1 foreign currency bill. Until then I have to use this method.

Hi Jenop,
thanks for the reply but the question is different from what u answered. I am already aware of matching foreign currency transactions. The question says to match 1 foreign currency bill with 2 transactions in the bank feed. Hope you will get the question now and will help in finding the solution. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for getting back to us, Navnee.
Allow me to share additional information about matching foreign currency bill in the bank feed.
The bank feeds feature in QuickBooks Online will automatically identify and use your home currency. This time, let's make sure the transactions you're matching have the same currency. After you click the Foreign currency option, you'll need to double-check the date. Make sure the bill's period is within the date range.
I've added these articles for some tips when matching transactions in QBO:

Hello @Navneet Singhal,
I have reviewed the solution you’ve shared and it's correct and accurate. Thank you for sharing your inputs to help address the issue.
We love to see members supporting one another! Have a great day.
I'm having the same problem. When I follow solution and click "Schedule Payment" it takes me to qbo's bill payment system, which we don't use. It seems there's no way to match two or more bank transactions in a foreign currency to some banking transaction. Let me know when QBO figures out a solution to this. Thx.
Hi, steveatliftinghands.
I'm here to share more information about scheduled payments.
You can use the Schedule Payments feature once you take and process payments using QuickBooks Payments. Thus, the system routes you to the Bill Payment page.
I've added this reference for more information: Get paid with Schedule Pay.
As for matching transactions, the online banking feature in QBO will automatically identify and use your home currency. When you match transactions, you'll have the option to toggle between Home currency and Foreign currency. Here's how:
Afterward, you're now ready to reconcile your account. I'd recommend doing this process every month. This is to effectively monitor your income, expenses, and the growth of your business. For the step-by-step guide, you can check out this article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
Let me know if you have other banking and multicurrency concerns or questions about managing transactions in QBO. I'm always ready to help.
The toggle between the Home currency and Foreign currency buttons does not exist if the bank account is a Euro account. It does if it's a USD account. But not Euro.
I'm trying to match transactions in my Euro bank to bills in Euro currency.
Thanks for getting back to us, Steve.
I can see the relevance of being able to match multiple bank transactions in a foreign currency to bills in a Euro currency. Currently, this feature isn't available in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Yes, you're right. We can only toggle between the Home and Foreign currency if it's a US bank account. Since we're unable to match transactions with foreign currencies, let's exclude those transactions as a workaround. Please note that when excluding a transaction, it doesn't appear in any financial reports or account registers.
In the meantime, we can relay this valuable input to our Product Development team. This way, they can review your request and might consider adding it to our future product updates. Here's how:
Furthermore, we can wire international payments to foreign vendors in just a few clicks using Bill Pay. You may access this new tool from your account, and it makes international transactions quick and easy.
