Taking opening balancies with multi-currencies

Thank you for using QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to manage your business and track transactions, Mosie59. 

 

We'll have to create a journal entry for your multi-currency balances so you can bring the information to the desktop program.

 

To bring the trial balance into QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), make a journal entry and use an importer tool to import the entry with different currencies. I'm unable to recommend which one to utilize, but you can check online or visit the Apps for QuickBooks Desktop site.

 

Also, I suggest getting guidance from an accountant on how to map fields and what details to input in the journal entry. This will help maintain accurate records and streamline the import process.

 

I've included a link that contains topics on how the multicurrency feature works: Set up and use Multicurrency (US region).

 

In addition, browse these resources to learn the various methods to transfer your data to and from QuickBooks and information to track transactions using foreign currencies. Please note that they're from the US region.

 Know that you can always get back here if you have other questions while working with currencies in QuickBooks. Have a great rest of the day.
