Hi

How to change the currency symbol from $ to S$ on invoice and quotes?

Hi Jag - don't think you can

Hi Jag,

Paul is correct, it wouldn't be possible to change the currency symbol. However, you can toggle a feature on to show the currency code by heading to Settings > Configure System > Toggle Features > Accounting > Tick the 'Currency Codes'.

Thanks,

Tommy

But aren't they only shown on the screen view of the invoice not the PDF that goes out?

Hi Paul,

Ah - well spotted! It seems that the currency code will not show for invoices displayed in the home currency but would work for foreign currencies. I will forward this onto our developers to make the necessary changes.

I will keep you both updated!

Thanks,

Tommy

Ah - well spotted! It seems that the currency code will not show for invoices displayed in the home currency ++ Where to set Home Currency? Is it possible to set Home Currency to S$ or SGD instead of $?

but would work for foreign currencies. ++ Can you please elaborate more on this statement?

Hi Jag,

At the moment, it isn't possible to change the home currency to show as a currency code. I have forwarded this onto our developers to investigate and will update you as soon as this has been completed. Also, for foreign currencies, such as, if you raise a bill in a currency other than SGD, the invoice would display the currency code if the feature is toggled on.

Thanks,

Tommy

Hi Jag,

Just a quick update. Our developers have now implemented the necessary changes, invoices and bills will now display the relevant currency code if this has been toggled on.

Thank you for your patience!

Hi Tommy

Thanks for the update.

Where do I toggle this ON?

I have already enabled

Settings> Configure system> Toggle features> Accounting> Currency Codes

But I still cannot see option to change the currency symbol when I create new Invoice?

Jag - there's no currency selection box on your invoice screen, have you got Multicurrency toggled on?

Thanks for the response.,

I am using Small Subscription, which does not have Multicurrency option, I believe that is the limitation of my account.

Ahhh there you go then, more money for CB?
