If you need to transfer funds between your local currency and a foreign currency, we'll step you through how to do it using a Spend Money transaction.
If you need to transfer funds between foreign currencies, see this topic.
Before you begin
The tasks below assume you have activated AccountRight's multicurrency feature (Setup > Preferences > System tab > I Deal in Multiple Currencies).
To transfer funds FROM your local currency
- Go to the Banking command centre and click Spend Money.
- Using the Currency Calculator (Help menu > Currency Calculator), calculate the exchange rate for the transaction. See the AccountRight help for information on the Currency Calculator (Australia | New Zealand).
- In the Spend Money window, click the Currency Indicator
- Select the Currency associated with the foreign account and update the Transaction Exchange Rate.
- Click OK to return to the Spend Money window.
- Select the Pay from Account option and choose the account from which the local funds are to be drawn.
- Enter the Date and Amount. Ensure the amount is the foreign currency amount.
- In the Acct# field, select the account into which the funds are being deposited (your foreign bank account).
- Go to the Edit menu and choose Recap Transaction to establish the amount withdrawn from the local bank account is correct. This is the total of the two Credits or the Credit less the Debit which is assigned to the local bank account. Here's an example:
