+=====================
+Multi-currency system
+=====================
+
+Odoo allows you to issue invoices, receive bills, and record transactions in currencies other than
+the main currency configured for your company. You can also set up bank accounts in other currencies
+and run reports on your foreign currency activities.
+
+.. seealso::

+.. _multi-currency/config:
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+.. _multi-currency/config-main-currency:
+
+Main currency
+-------------
+
+The **main currency** is defined by default according to the company's country. You can change it by
+going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings --> Currencies` and changing the
+currency in the :guilabel:`Main Currency` setting.
+
+.. _multi-currency/config-enable:
+
+Enable foreign currencies
+-------------------------
+
+Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Currencies`, and enable the currencies you
+wish to use by toggling the :guilabel:`Active` button.
+
+.. image:: multi_currency/enable-foreign-currencies.png

+   :alt: Enable the currencies you wish to use.
+
+.. _multi-currency/config-rates:
+
+Currency rates
+--------------
+
+Manual update
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To manually create and set a currency rate, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration -->
+Currencies`, click on the currency you wish to change the rate of, and under the :guilabel:`Rates`
+tab, click :guilabel:`Add a line` to create a new rate.
+
+.. image:: multi_currency/manual-rate-update.png
+  :align: center
+  :alt: Create or modify the currency rate.
+
+Automatic update
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When you activate a second currency for the first time, :guilabel:`Automatic Currency Rates` appears
+under :menuselection:`Accounting Dashboard --> Configuration --> Settings --> Currencies`. By
+default, you have to click on the **Update now** button (:guilabel:`🗘`) to update the rates.
+
+Odoo can update the rates at regular intervals. To do so, change the :guilabel:`Interval` from
+:guilabel:`Manually` to :guilabel:`Daily`, :guilabel:`Weekly`, or :guilabel:`Monthly`. You can also
+select the web service from which you want to retrieve the latest currency rates by clicking on the
+:guilabel:`Service` field.
+
+.. _multi-currency/config-exch-diff:
+
+Exchange difference entries
+---------------------------
+
+Odoo automatically records exchange differences entries on dedicated accounts, in a dedicated
+journal.
+
+You can define which journal and accounts to use to **post exchange difference entries** by
+going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings --> Default Accounts` and editing
+the :guilabel:`Journal`, :guilabel:`Gain Account`, and :guilabel:`Loss Account`.
+
+.. example::
+   If you receive a payment for a customer invoice one month after it was issued, the exchange rate
+   has likely changed since. Therefore, this fluctuation implies some profit or loss due to the
+   exchange difference, which Odoo automatically records in the default **Exchange Difference**
+   journal.
+
+.. _multi-currency/config-coa:
+
+Chart of accounts
+-----------------
+
+Each account can have a set currency. By doing so, all moves relevant to the account are forced to
+have that account's currency.
+
+To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Charts of Accounts` and select a
+currency in the field :guilabel:`Account Currency`. If left empty, all active currencies are handled
+instead of just one.
+
+.. _multi-currency/config-journals:
+
+Journals
+--------
+
+If a currency is set on a **journal**, that journal only handles transactions in that currency.
+
+To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Journals`, open the journal you
+want to edit, and select a currency in the field :guilabel:`Currency`. If left empty, all active
+currencies are handled instead of just one.
+
+.. image:: multi_currency/journal-currency.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Select the currency for the journal to handle.

+
+Multi-currency accounting
+=========================
+
+.. _multi-currency/mca-documents:
+
+Invoices, bills, and other documents
+------------------------------------
+
+For all documents, you can select the currency and journal to use for the transaction.
+
+.. image:: multi_currency/currency-field.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Select the currency and journal to use.
+
+.. _multi-currency/mca-payment:
+
+Payment registration
+--------------------
+
+To register a payment in a currency other than your company's main currency, click on the
+:guilabel:`Register Payment` payment button of your document and, in the pop-up window, select a
+**currency** in the :guilabel:`Amount` field.
+
+.. image:: multi_currency/register-payment.png
+  :align: center
+  :alt: Select the currency and journal to use before registering the payment.
+
+.. _multi-currency/mca-statements:
+
+Bank statements
+---------------
+
+When creating or importing bank statements, the amount is in the company's main currency. To see
+additional fields related to foreign currencies, click on the **columns dropdown button**
+(:guilabel:`⋮`) next to :guilabel:`Amount`, and check :guilabel:`Amount Currency` and
+:guilabel:`Foreign Currency`.
+
+.. image:: multi_currency/foreign-fields.png

-Record exchange rates at payments
-=================================
-
-Overview
-========
-
-Any company doing international trade faces the case where the payments
-are in a different currency.
-
-After receiving their payments, you have the option to convert the
-amount into your company currency. Multi currency payment implies rates
-fluctuations. The rate differences are automatically recorded by Odoo.
-
-Configuration

-
-Enable multi-currencies
------------------------
-
-In the accounting module, Go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` 
-and flag **Allow multi currencies**, then click on **apply**.
