If a manual exchange rate is entered will QB automatically change the exchange rate to the actual rate on the invoice date? For example: Entering a series of invoices for the rest of this year for a customer that is paying in a foreign currency. The only way to save the invoices with dates after today (the entry date in QB) is to manually enter a guess at what the exchange rate might be months from now. Will QB automatically adjust the exchange rate on the date the invoice is sent to the customer or on the actual invoice date?

QuickBooks does not automatically update the exchange rate, Lisa.
When creating an invoice dated for the future, you'll need to manually enter an exchange rate in order to save it. Please note that this rate may not accurately reflect the actual exchange rate on that future date, as foreign exchange rates vary. Therefore, you will need to update your invoice manually when sending it on the specified future date.

Thanks for the quick reply and answer, Claire!
I will see if there is a feature like a note or task/alert/reminder to attach to the future dated invoices to be sure I manually go in and update the exchange rates on the actual invoice dates.
Having to do this also means that the "send/deliver later" feature can't be used on all of these invoices.
Feature suggestions:
1. Option for QB to auto-update exchange rate on customer invoices to the rate on the invoice date when that date occurs.
1a. Include an icon that shows the exchange rate status as manually entered, will auto update on invoice date, etc.
2. Enable the "send/deliver later" feature on these future dated customer invoices on the invoice date.
We value your suggestions, lisa319.
