Getting Started

Thanks for adding more details about your concern, @RobertDee.


When paying a vendor using the online bill pay, the billing solution will require a US phone number and it can be used for suppliers in the mentioned region.


Since the supplier is from Europe, you can pay them outside QBO and then record the payment in your company. This is to mirror what happened to the actual transaction.


Make sure to turn on the Multicurrency feature to track foreign currency transactions including any exchange gains or losses you might incur. This functionality is only available in the Essentials, Plus, and Advanced versions.


If you haven’t activated it, let’s go to the Account and Settings page to accomplish this task. Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top to choose Account and Settings under Your Company.
  2. Tap the Advanced menu on the left panel to access the Currency window.

  3. From there, click on the Pencil icon to mark the box for Multicurrency.
  4. Then, mark the box for I understand I cannot undo Multicurrency.

  5. Click Save and Done.

Next, let’s add the vendor to QBO. With just a few clicks we can perform this task.

 

  1. Click on the Expenses menu on the left panel to choose Vendors.
  2. Tap the New Vendor button to open the Vendor Information window.
  3. Enter the supplier’s name and other information.
  4. Go to the I pay this vendor section and click the drop-down menu to choose the appropriate currency. Please know this is the currency that you use to pay for the vendor.

  5. Hit Save to keep the changes.

The following guides provide an overview of how to activate the Multicurrency as well as steps to add a foreign vendor and another currency.
