Your patience has been extremely important, and I know that resolving this issue is quite challenging, VincentHS.
First, we must transfer the funds to your home currency account. Then transfer it to a different currency. Moving the funds uses one foreign currency at a time. You can follow these steps to set up a foreign currency conversion account:
- Go to the Gear icon.
- Choose Chart of Accounts and then select New.
- For the Account type, select Cash at bank and in hand.
- For the Detail type, choose Cash on hand.
- Name the account "Foreign currency conversion".
- Enter the description like "transferring between multicurrency accounts".
- Select the home currency.
- Hit Save and Close.
Convert the funds to your Home currency. QuickBooks will automatically handle the conversion when you transfer the funds to the account you created.
- Select +New.
- Click Transfer.
- Choose the original account from which you want to transfer funds.
- Click the currency of the original account.
- Enter the amount you wish to transfer.
- In the Transfer Funds section, select the Foreign currency conversion account you created.
- Hit Save and Close.
Now, we'll transfer the funds to the desired currency. Here's how:
- Select + New.
- Select Transfer.
- In the Transfer Funds section, choose the Foreign currency conversion account.
- Select the desired currency you wish to convert to.
- Enter the amount.
- In the Transfer Funds section, choose the correct account in the desired currency where you want to deposit the funds.
- Select Save and Close.
After these steps, check the transfer. Follow these steps:
- Go to Banking.
- Select the Bank Transactions tab.
- Select the account where you transferred the funds in the desired currency.
- Double-check the account balance to make sure it’s accurate.
You can also check in the your Chart of accounts:
- Go to Transactions.
- Select Chart of Accounts.
- In the search bar, enter the name of the desired currency account.
Double-check the account balance and ensure it has been deposited in the correct currency. By following this approach, you'll have a clear record of all the multicurrency funds you've converted, right in your Chart of Accounts.
