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**.

|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
You can automatically fetch the currency rates from the **European
|
|
Central Bank** or from **Yahoo**. Please read the document :
|
|
:doc:`how_it_works`.
|
|
|
|
Configure your journal
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to register payments in other currencies, you have to **remove
|
|
the currency constraint** on the journal. Go to the accounting
|
|
application, Click on **More** on the journal and **Settings**.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/exchange_rate06.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Check if the **Currency** field is empty or in the foreign currency in which
|
|
you will register the payments. If a currency is filled in, it means
|
|
that you can register payments only in this currency.

Record a payment in a different currency
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
In the **Accounting** application, go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Payments`.
|
|
Register the payment and indicate that it was done in the foreign currency. Then
|
|
click on **confirm**.

Go back to your invoice (:menuselection:`Sales --> Customer Invoices`) and click on
|
|
**Add** to allocate the payment.

|
Record a bank statement in a different currency
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Create or import the bank statement of your payment. The **Amount** is in
|
|
the company currency. There are two complementary fields, the **Amount currency**,
|
|
which is the amount that was actually paid and the **Currency** in which it was paid.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
When reconciling it, Odoo will directly match the payment with the right
|
|
**Invoice**. You will get the invoice price in the invoice currency and the
|
|
amount in your company currency.
