Foreign Currency Customers and Suppliers

SUGGESTED

Hi, I have foreign customers and suppliers and have activated the currency, set up bank accounts and worked out how to set up the customer/supplier account. What I can't find is whether I need to set up foreign currency debtors in the nominals or does it show in the GBP debtors reports. If it is in GBP debtors Is there an indication of the currency etc? What I need is to ensure that there is no doubt that this is not a GBP debt/liability when we are looking at what is owed by the individual account. It would be disastrous if someone were to quote the GBP amount to the customer when chasing payment! 

Thanks

Ellen

    Hi Ellen,

    Thanks for using Sage City.

    You don't need to configure a foreign currency debtor nominal. The software shows base currency values (normally GBP) in the nominal accounts including the Debtors Control account, but the individual customer accounts are shown in the correct currency for that customer. In the customer record the activity for the customer is shown in the relevant currency, as are the aged debt values at the foot of the Activity window.

    I hope that helps. If this answer has helped, please click the ellipsis ..., then click Verify Answer.
