We don't want you to be inconvenienced in any way. Please be assured that assisting you with receiving payment in a foreign currency is our priority, @Marja Kleynhans.
QuickBooks Online can generate invoices and bills in a variety of currencies. However, we can only use our home currency bank account. This means QuickBooks is unable to record a payment in a currency that does not match the invoice or bill's currency.
To receive payments in a foreign currency, please take note that the Multicurrency feature has to be enabled. You can click the Gear icon and select the Advanced tab.

Once done, we can initially record the payment through the Receive Payment and Deposit to the Dummy Bank. Please take note of the amount provided at the bottom right before saving the transaction.
After that, weβll transfer the amount of USD 9882.39 from Dummy Bank to the EUR bank account. Since the bank already advised you to set out the amount in EURO as EUR8805. We can use these figures, or you can check if they match with the conversion rate.

I'll be sharing with you how Multicurrency works. You might also consider adding a foreign currency account to your Chart of Accounts.
Iβve added these informative resources thatβll guide you with fixing reconciliation in QuickBooks:
