Multicurrency Invoicing Settings

The feature allows to issue invoices for certain customers in their local currencies.

Note
Relation between customer and currency is set only once on customer creation and can not be changed afterwards. It works like this to avoid any mess in finance for the customer.
When feature is disabled, local company currency can be applied only (the one set in Tools → Company Settings → Finance → Currency).

Company Currency

Navigation
to switch on the multicurrency setting generally, enable it from main menu:
Tools → Company Settings → Finance → Allow MultiCurrency

Customer Currency

On a customer creation the company default currency ('Invoice in default currency') is set by default in a 'Customer' tab.

To define another currency, disable the above mentioned setting and select the required currency from 'Invoicing currency' dropdown list.

As a result, additional fields with the local currency become added in invoice and its data is taken for accounting (see below, highlighted with green).

Multicurrency & PNR

On invoicing the currency from a PNR is validated.

  • If it is not equal to the one defined in Tools → Company Settings → Finance → Currency, and customer has got no multicurrency (see the pictures above), then the ticket currency becomes converted to the default one (HC) via regular exchange rate and this price is taken for invoicing.
  • If customer has got multicurrency, and it is equal to the ticket currency (for example, that is the case for www.t2t.dk) then the ticket price is copied to sell price local, and the HC price is calculated (DKK in Denmark & etc.) using regular exchange rate.
  • If customer's currency is different from the ticket currency (abstract example to cover all cases), then local HC price is calculated using regular exchange rate from HC currency to local.
