Assign the currency links to debtors and creditors

You use a summary account for foreign currencies and you record Currency assignments for the debtors and creditors. You only add a new currency assignment to a creditor/debtor if the default currency of the creditor/debtor in question is NOT Euro.

To add the currency links for debtors and creditors:

  1. Go to:
    • Financial / Debtor / Debtor
    • Financial / Creditor / Creditor
  2. Click on: New.
  3. Follow the procedure for adding a debtor (or creditor) with the following exceptions:
    • Select the Summary account for international debtors (or creditors).
    • Select the Currency that you will generally use for the invoices for this debtor (or creditor). This must be a different currency code than the administration's default currency code. If it is the same currency as for the administration, you cannot assign a currency.
  4. Complete the addition of the debtor (or creditor).
  5. If you want to add extra Currency assignments then open the properties of the debtor (or creditor).
  6. Go to the tab: Currency assignments.
  7. Add the Currency assignments.
  8. Click on: OK.
