How Foreign Currency Transactions are Recorded

Both the foreign currency amount and its equivalent in your base currency will be recorded and saved. The system automatically captures and stores these values, and the exchange rate used for the conversion will be clearly displayed in the transaction details.

  1. From the left-side menu , navigate to Partners and either create or edit a customer or vendor.
  2. Set their currency to the appropriate foreign currency (e.g., USD, GBP).
  3. Navigate to Invoices or Bills.
  4. Click 'Create New'.
  5. Select the partner you’ve assigned a foreign currency to.
  6. The invoice or bill will automatically be in the chosen foreign currency.
  7. Enter your line items in the foreign currency: Balabook will automatically convert the amount to your business’s base currency using the ECB daily exchange rate for that date.
  8. Once completed, click 'Save' or 'Approve' to record the transaction.
