Add summary accounts in foreign currencies

You add separate summary accounts for international debtors and creditors. Your domestic summary accounts are only intended for entries in the default currency.

You can select whether you want to make entries for multiple currencies in one international summary account or whether you want to use separate summary accounts per currency. For example, you could use a separate summary account for American debtors (USD) and a separate summary account for Japanese debtors (YEN). You link your American debtors to the American summary account and your Japanese debtors to the Japanese summary account.
You can also use one account for both USD and YEN. The summary account must then be linked to both currency codes. You link all international debtors to the summary account.
