We have made a JPY invoice payment from USD account how to post this entry

Great to see you in the Community today, @userdivya-raman.

 

In QuickBooks, we can only use the home currency bank account or the bank account with the currency that matches the Invoice/Bill when recording payments received.  

 

Before we begin, enable the Multicurrency feature so that we can receive and make payments in a foreign currency. It allows you to properly track these transactions and the exchange rate gains and losses.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Settings menu, then select Account and settings.
  2. Click Advanced, then select Edit (pencil icon) in the Currency section and choose your Home Currency.
  3. Check the Multicurrency box and confirm that you understand that you can't undo this option, then click Save and close.

 

Then, create a new dummy bank account in the home currency to facilitate the movement of two different foreign currencies: 

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, then select Chart of Accounts
  2. Select New, then choose Cash and cash equivalent under Account Type column.
  3. Under Detail Type column, select Cash on hand. 
  4. Type in Dummy Bank under the Name column.
  5. Ensure that it is in the home currency before saving and closing,

 

Once done, follow the steps to record payment of the foreign invoice outlined in this help article: Receiving and making payment for a foreign invoice/ bill with a foreign currency.

 

For future reference, see this article to help you learn about assigning a foreign currency to a customer in QuickBooks Online

 

Let me know if you have additional concerns about recording invoice payment with foreign currency. I'll be around to guide you again.
