foreign supplier payments posted in bank account

[Gboy]

Hi all,

New o the forums and tried a search on this but found nothing.

I have only recently started using sage line 50 and am trying to pay a foreign supplier invoice through the bank. I am doing this in the main bank account which is sterling. I chose supplier payment and selected the supplier but I get a message telling me the currency on the supplier is different to the bank account and that I have to select a different bank account. Help seems to indicate that I can do this and that I get to choose a rate but I cannot get past this message as it will not let me progress.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You have to pay suppliers in the same currency as their account, so to pay a euro supplier you must use a euro bank account, if in practice you do not have a euro bank account, create on in sage, transfer the amount from sterling and them pay from the euro.
