How to: Apply Customer Ledger Entries in Different Currencies

If you sell to a customer in one currency and receive payment in another currency, you can still apply the invoice to the payment.

If you apply an entry (Entry 1) in one currency to an entry (Entry 2) in a different currency, the posting date on Entry 1 is used to find the relevant exchange rate to convert amounts on Entry 2. The relevant exchange rate is found in the Currency Exchange Rates window.

To apply customer ledger entries in different currencies to one another

  1. In the Search box, enter Sales Journal, and choose the related link.

  2. Open the journal you want, and fill in the first empty journal line using a currency code. If the column is not visible, open the shortcut menu for the column headings, and then choose Choose Columns to add it.

  3. On the Actions menu, in the Functions group, choose Apply Entries.

  4. Select the line with the entry you want to apply to the entry in the payment journal. On the Navigate tab, in the Application group, choose Set Applies-to ID, and select the entry you want to apply to.

  5. Choose the OK button to return to the sales journal.

  6. Post the sales journal.

Important

When you apply entries in different currencies to one another, the entries are converted to LCY. Even though the exchange rates for the two relevant currencies are fixed, for example between USD and EUR, there may be a small residual amount when these foreign-currency amounts are converted to LCY. These small residual amounts are posted as gains and losses to the account specified in the Realized Gains Account or Realized Losses Account field in the Currencies window. The Amount (LCY) field is also adjusted on the relevant vendor ledger entries.
