In QB online sales/customer module, after applying cash payment to an existing invoice with foreign currency, an exchange gain/loss will be recorded into the period when the invoice was booked. This caused exchange gain/loss going into the previous accounting period and changed the net income/loss of that accounting period. Normally it was closed and fixed, and cannot be changed from the accounting perspective.
How to avoid or resolve such issues? Can we let the exchange gain/loss going into the current accounting period?
Hello Jackma,
When you create invoices or other transactions, QuickBooks Online always uses the exchange rate on that moment.
Once you pay the invoice, you might want to update the exchange rate to the current one. This'll reflect under the total converted amount instead of the Amount received field.
Note that foreign currencies are automatically updated every four hours in QuickBooks. These updates come from Wall Street On Demand.

Thank you for joining this thread, @XIAOLING.
Let me ensure we can match the deposit from FY 2021 to the invoice in FY 2022. To start, we can go to the invoice transaction and manually alter the exchange rate to the FY 2021 rate. Here’s how:
You can now match the deposit to the transaction, @XIAOLING. Afterward, you can refer to this article to learn about reconciling an account in QuickBooks Online.
