Dear all,

Long story short,

The invoice to a client was raised in EUR , but the client for some unknown reason paid in GBP.
I cant even record this as a payment on account because as the currencies are different.
The invoice remains outstanding, is there any way I can allocate this annoying payment to this annoying invoice?
Please help help help :shock:

Many thanks :roll:

Transfer the EUR balance to suspense by doing a credit note and match them of in the customer account.
Put the GBP bank receipt to the 9999 account.
Journal the profit and loss on exchange from the 9999 account to your profit and loss on exchange account.

Or
create a dummy Euro account in the bank module. (note this account must always be back to zero when you are finished your transactions)

Then Receive the customer payment into that account.

Finally transfer that amount into your GBP account via the Bank Transfer option.
