Sage 50 CA and Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

1 minute read time.

Do you work with multiple currencies and need your accounting software to update foreign exchange rates automatically?

Sage 50 CA & Foreign Exchange rates

You may have noticed that Sage 50 CA requires a manual update of foreign exchange rates. Currently, Sage does not endorse any foreign currency live feeds for use in Sage 50 but we have put together KB 115567, with a listing of suggested websites you can use to get foreign currency rates.

Top Foreign currency site references include:

*Please review the disclaimers on any foreign exchange rate website before use.
 

The Exchange Rate Window in Sage 50 CA

In this window, you can set up a link to an exchange rate Web site and a reminder to update a foreign currency, as well as, update the exchange rate of a foreign currency. See KB 16601 on how to set or change the currency exchange rate for full steps and KB 11505 on how to revalue foreign accounts using a different currency exchange rate should it need to be modified.

If you use a web site to update your company's foreign currency exchange rate information, you can add it to Sage 50 Accounting and open the site while you are manually updating an exchange rate.

  1. Before you can perform this task
    1. Switch to single-user mode (Sage 50 Premium Accounting)
    2. Turn on foreign currency transactions
