Hello there, mpmainieri.

 

I can see how relevant and useful to change the name of a currency within QuickBooks Online. However, we're unable to do it. QuickBooks set the currency name as default in the software, and there's no way to modify the name. 

 

On the other hand, if you mean we entering exchange rates, you can follow these steps to get this thing done. Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Currencies under Lists.
  3. Click the Add currency button. Then, choose a currency name.
  4. Hit Add
  5. Once done, you can modify the currency rate by clicking the Edit currency exchange under the Action column.
  6. Enter rate. Then, Save

That will do. Also, you may want to read these articles for additional details about handling currency in QBO:

 

 

Then, you may consider checking our blog website so you'll be updated with the latest releases features and enhanced ones. From there, you can review if there are some changes in QuickBooks designed. Also, we can check if there's an announcement about the editing the currency name. 

 

Please let me know if you need anything else. I'll be here to assist you anytime. Take care and have a good one!

Thanks for the answer.

 

Exchange rate its very dynamic we are planning to import the data hourly via API.

I can use other currency but the issue its the name in that case that is show, the symbol its not important.  That was my "workaround" to fix this if we were unable to change names.

 

Intuit has a place to see users features request and the development of new features status?

To formally ask for this an follow?

 

Thanks
