"Transactions can have only one foreign currency at a time". What can we do?

Hi,

 

I am trying to record a simple transfer (in transactions>bank) between a bank account in EUR and another bank account in IDR. When I try to do so I have this error message preventing me from doing it:

 

"Transactions can have only one foreign currency at a time."

 

  1. Why?
  2. What can I do about it?

 

My company is in the UK so I have GPB (and USD) activated but I don't think this has anything to do with it?

 

Let me know if there is a workaround.

 

Thanks a lot,

Alexis

Hello Alexis44, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

So you cant transfer between two foreign accounts, that is why your getting that error message,  you would have to create a contra account in your home currency, transfer the amount from the EUR to the GBP account and then transfer the amount from the GBP to the IDR account. There is no other way to do it.
