Add international purchase and sales journals

You add the journals and link an entry layout that is suitable for foreign currencies.

AFAS supplies default entry layouts for the purchase and sales entries in foreign currencies: Financial entries (Sales entry in currency) (Profit), Financial entries (Purchase entry in currency) (Profit) and Financial entries (Journal in currency) (Profit) and Reconcile invoices (Currency) (Profit) for the reconciliation of invoices.

To be able to use an entry layout for foreign currencies, the Debit currency amount and Credit currency amount fields must have been included in the entry layout. If that is not the case, the Amount debit and Amount credit fields remain grey and cannot be changed. The supplied default entry layouts mentioned above already include these fields. You can link this default entry layout or add your own entry layout that includes these fields.
