Expenses can also be entered in foreign currency if the power user has enabled the feature in the settings (> Application Parameters > System Parameters > Expenses > Expense Parameters > Allow foreign currency). After activation, the Currency field becomes visible in the expense window.

If you select a currency other than the bookkeeping currency, the expense window displays the Unit Price and the Sales Price Net fields in that currency, as well as the exchange rate field. The exchange rate used is determined by the expense’s entry date.

If a foreign currency has been selected for the expense, it cannot be cost forwarded, and its Total Cost Price (gross purchase price), Cost Price Net and VAT Base fields cannot be edited.

If the matter is in a foreign currency, you may choose either the matter’s currency or the bookkeeping currency for the expense.
