You can either enter a new rate in the field or click the button to 
open the exchange-rate table, then add or change rates as 
needed. 

 

We recommend that you set up at least one bank account to keep 
track of foreign-currency amounts. Although Simply Accounting 
lets you mix home-currency and foreign-currency amounts in the 
same account, you will probably find it easier to keep them in 
separate accounts. This could be an account at a bank in the 
foreign country you do business with or a foreign-currency 
account at a local bank. 

 

If you use Simply Accounting to reconcile your bank statements, 
note that foreign-currency bank accounts are reconciled in the 
foreign currency. This means that you are matching foreign 
amounts to foreign amounts and don’t need to worry about 
exchange-rate differences. 

If you wish, you can set up a primary foreign bank account for 
Purchases or Sales. Simply Accounting then displays this account 
automatically when you enter a payment or receipt for a foreign 
vendor or customer, so you do not have to select the bank from a 
list every time. You can set up one account for purchases and 
one for sales for each currency you use.
