Back in Nov 2013 I asked if we could change the currencies in the bulk entry, Joe said it was not then available but thought it was something that might be able to done in the future. I see its still not an option even as a power user, i get so many invoices in EUR, USD, AUD and even NZD. It would really be helpful if this function could be included. Is this something other users would find useful if so please chip in
I’m afraid there’s no movement on this as yet. We try to prioritise development based on those features that are requested the most, I’m afraid right now this is just not something that comes up that often on our forum.
We are planning to look at enhancing the multi-currency capabilities later this year so I will see if this can be considered as part of that development.
EDIT:
I see your old request was automatically closed. I’ve change the settings on this one so it doesn’t get closed and others can add their vote/comment.
Thanks Glenn,
When we set up a supplier or client we are asked to select the currency for that client? Is there anyway to connect the bulk payment under that client to that currency as a sort of quick fix, because theoretically the only currency that should be showing is that currency you selected when you set the client up? Its just that i have 72 AUD invoices and the supplier has been set up as an AUD account?
Cheers for the updates as well the system is looking good.
The problem isn’t so much the automatic selection. It’s the stuff that happens under the covers within QF when creating foreign currency invoices. There is an additional layer of complexity with foreign currency invoices that includes processing exchange rates and normalising everything to GBP, working out currency loss/gains etc. A foreign currency invoice always stores the value in currency and the equivalent value in GBP (the base currency).
I’m sure we will have the opportunity to look at this in time and I shall update you should there be any movement here.
Could I add that this functionality would also be useful with the ‘import’ purchase invoices option. I use the import function alot but it cannot handle purchases in anything other than the base currency.
+1 for this.
Also another option is to make a bulk action to change the currency of the invoices. So we could import drafts as GBP and change them to any currency afterwards.
Is a must having full multi-currency support including end year valuations / gains/loss as is a requirement for reporting under new FRS 105 for micro-entities
