Suppliers invoice in USD

Question asked by Alyson Gouldsworthy 10 years ago

Hi I have a suppliers invoice that is in USD. We pay the invoice in USD from paypal accounts in regular intervals. On the suppliers statement it shows the original payment and then converts it to GBP. The USD conversion is then showing a much higher amount.

Eg One the statement for one payment it states completed original payment $9000 with exchange rate of 1.5666 (this is what we paid) The payment then shows £5891.26 / $9481.73. This is the amount used to pay off the invoice.

This is $481.73 more that what was paid. How is this ever going to calculate correctly?

Hi Alyson

I presume you're looking at the 'running balance' statement? If so, the system should automatically adjust any difference by way of a posting to the P&L.

I've just recreated this in the demo, running balance view looks like this:

With the resulting P&L entry here:

Can you not see the FX adjustment in your clients' books as above?

Hi

I was looking at the full statement as there are several payments off the invoice. The running balance is incorrect and the forex is not listed on the P&L report. I can send you a print screen is you like. I don't want to to this on the community.
