Question

Hello,

 

I have a customer that paid their invoices (the invoices were sent in CAD) in USD and sent to my USD Bank Account.  How do I now match them and subsequently record the transfer I had to make back to my CAD bank account?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for your response @JamesM4. 

    Although I understand directing me to a ProAdvisor, I'm interested in learning to do this on my own as it is something I enjoy.  Normally this customer pays me in CAD as they are invoiced in CAD, however, they sent me the payment in error in USD to my USD Account.  I want to record the transfer, receive the payment, and clear the invoices that were paid.

     

    Kind regards,

    Nicole

      Glad to hear back from you Nicole. I see what you're saying. It's important to note that you can only match foreign-currency transactions when the amount is exactly the same to what's in QuickBooks and the transaction in QuickBooks has no payments against it already. If the amounts are different and the option to match isn't available, I recommend looking into manually recording the payment using the steps in this article here. Feel free to ask questions, I've got your back.

        I don't think the answer is difficult especially if all accounts are linked to QBO. But that being said QB is limited. Maybe you can just transfer the funds to the CAD account and then receive the payment for the amount that is received into the CAD account. Creating a journal in the amount deposited to the USD account to clear that deposit is one option I'd probably use instead of excluding that entry.
