Entering a Journal Entry in a Foreign Currency

Access the Journal Entry form.

Note: To display foreign journal entries only, enter CA in the Ledger Type field in the QBE row of the Work with Journal Entries form. Although, the system does not display the value CA in the Ledger Type field, it does select foreign journal entries. When you select the journal entry to review, the system displays the foreign side (CA ledger). To review the domestic entries, clear the Foreign check box.

The system assigns the currency of the company associated with the account number on the first line of a journal entry as the base (domestic) currency of the transaction and the document company.

Foreign

Select this check box to review the foreign amount for a transaction. Use this check box to toggle between foreign and domestic amounts. The system displays CA and AA in the Ledger Type fields accordingly.
