SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

I thought this would have been basic...
I've just received the usual bagful of a year's worth of receipts from a client, including petrol, stationery, restaurants, etc.

Firstly, I would have thought there was a expenses batch entry screen in Sage 50 (v21) for this purpose. Previously, I have done this type of thing in the excel templates that Sage provides, but I would like to try to enter straight in to Sage if this option exists. I can't seem to find it in the program, Is there any such thing?

Secondly, some of the items are in Euros. Normally, I just enter the amount in GBP that appears on the bank statement, (or, if paid from petty cash, an approximation based on the exchange rate on that day). But there is a column on the Audit Trail Import Template called Exchange Rate and I'm wondering if I can use that to enter a Euro amount and have it automatically converted to good ol Pounds 'n Pence. (I'm too young to remember shillings). If not, what is the purpose of the Exchange Rate column?

Looking forward to some insights. Thank you.

if these are straight forward expenses, you can bang them in as bank payments.

Use a euro bank account for the euro stuff.

Thank you that was simple.

About the Euro thing. I am reluctant to start a new account in Sage for Euros, especially as the transactions show up on his bank statement in Pounds. I will just do as before, making use of the F4 shortcut (amazing that Microsoft haven't caught on to that) to calculate the cash payments.

Thank you very much.
