Confused with multicurrency and balance sheets

It's possible that the exchange rates were not yet updated, votrehien3. Thus, the new exchange rate doesn't reflect on the report.

Let's download the new exchanges so you can get an accurate data. Here's how to do it:

1. Click the Lists at the top menu and select Currency List.
2. Select the Activities button and choose Download Latest Exchange Rates.

You can also update the exchange rates manually:

1. In the Currency List window, double-click the currency.
2. In the Edit Currency window,  choose a date and enter the new exchange rate.
