If you do business with vendors or customers in another country, 
you can set up Simply Accounting to keep track of transactions 
in a foreign currency, such as the British pound. 

 

If you are not using Simply Accounting Pro, you can use one 
foreign currency. Simply Accounting Pro allows an unlimited 
number of currencies.  

You can also set up bank and cash accounts that use the foreign 
currency. This is useful if you have a bank account in the foreign 
country or a foreign-currency account at a local bank. 

You can set foreign prices for inventory and service items, or 
enter prices in your home currency and let the program calculate 
the foreign price based on the current exchange rate.  

The currency used in the country in which your business is 
located is called the home currency. On most reports, foreign 
balances are converted into home currency or are shown in 
addition to home-currency amounts.
