How to add a foreign currency to an existing Vendor?

Hi All, I recently enabled multi-currency in QBO. How do I assign a foreign currency to existing Vendors? I know how to create a new vendor and assign them a foreign currency, but I cannot find out how to do it for my existing vendors? I've made sure the currency is added to my Currency List, so that's not the issue. 

 

I tried to merge the vendors, that didn't work either.

It's nice to have you in the Community, @Sc0. I'd be delighted to assist you in adding a foreign currency to the existing vendors in QuickBooks Online. 

 

In the meantime, you can’t change the currency of a vendor once you’ve added transactions with them. As a workaround, I’d suggest making the existing vendor profile inactive and adding the vendor again with their foreign currency. Here’s how: 

 

  1. Go to Get paid & pay or Expenses, then select Vendors.
  2. Select Vendors, then New vendor.
  3. Enter the vendor's name and other info.
  4. From the I pay this vendor with ▼ dropdown menu, select the currency you use to pay this vendor.
  5. Click Save when you’re done.
