warning1

General ledger accounts must be set up first. This warning will appear if trying to enable Multi-Currency first.

 

mcerror

 

On the ribbon, go to Tools > Options > Accounting > Multi-Currency.

 

To activate Multi-Currency tick the appropriate Enable Multi-Currency checkboxes:

 

enablemc

 

Each setting impacts globally on the function of Multi-Currency, ie. every user accessing Multi-Currency is affected by the options set here.

1.Enable Multi-Currency (Accounts & Creditors) must be ticked to take advantage of the Multi-Currency feature. Once enabled, this function cannot be changed and the checkboxes will be greyed out.

Note: This will enable Multi-Currency on purchase only.

Enable Multi-Currency on Sale allows to separately enable Multi-Currency on sale. This option can be left disabled if only importing, in which case there will be no reference to Multi-Currency during sales, etc. Once enabled, this allows for use of Multi-Currency on sale as well as purchase.

Info

Multi-Currency (accounts and creditors) will automatically be enabled if Multi-Currency on Sale is enabled.

 

Multi-Currency covers transactions on purchases, sales and bank accounts, including journals, cheques/deposits and debtors/creditors. Easily predict exact foreign currency exposure for a currency and revalue as required, which is invaluable for importers and exporters.

 

warning1

Once Multi-Currency has been enabled, it cannot be disabled.

 

If Branches are enabled, enter the following:

Default branch for realised gain/loss

Default sub-branch for realised gain/loss

Default GL Department for realised gain/loss.

 

All realised gains/losses will be posted to default branch/sub-branch/GL Department as set in this option. It is recommended that the branch/sub-branch or GL Department selected as the default be as generic as possible (example: Admin ) as this function is not set at an object level or associated with a user branch. As all realised gains/losses will be journalled here automatically, then apportion among branches, etc. using general journals as (or if) required.
