Multuple/Separate A/R and A/P Accounts Based on different currency questions?

Posted on by 1,579
I have a D365 BC company configured with base currency of EUR.

The company has bank accounts in many different currencies such as:
 
  • Bank Account for GBP
  • Bank Account for CHF
  • Bank Account for USD
  • Bank Account for EUR

Likewise, the company has vendors who invoices them in multiple currencies such as:
 
  • Vendors whose base currency is GBP and who invoice in GBP
  • Vendors whose base currency is CHF and who invoice in CHF
  • Vendors whose base currency is USD and who invoice in USD
  • Vendors whose base currency is EUR and who invoice in EUR
  • Etc.

As a result, the company would like to have separate A/P Accounts for each currency.
 
  • A/P Account for GBP
  • A/P Account for CHF
  • A/P Account for USD
  • A/P Account for EUR
  • Etc.

Then, when an invoice comes in from a vendor, it posts to the A/P Account for that specific currency.

Similarly, the company has customers who expect to be invoiced in their desired currency, and who will then pay in that currency.
 
  • Customers whose base currency is GBP, will be invoiced and will remit payment in GBP
  • Customers whose base currency is CHF, will be invoiced and will remit payment in CHF
  • Customers whose base currency is USD, will be invoiced and will remit payment in USD
  • Customers whose base currency is EUR, will be invoiced and will remit payment in EUR
  • Etc.

As a result, the company would like to have separate A/R Accounts for each currency.
 
  • A/R Account for GBP
  • A/R Account for CHF
  • A/R Account for USD
  • A/R Account for EUR
  • Etc.

My Questions are as follows:
 
  1. Is this Account Architecture Possible in D365 BC? I assume it is but would like official confirmation that “yes” it is.

Assuming the answer to # 1 above is “yes”, the following questions become relevant.
 
  1. What is the mechanism that causes a bill from a GBP vendor/supplier, to post to the A/P Account for GBP?
 
    • What is the mechanism that causes a bill from a CHF vendor/supplier, to post to the A/P Account for CHF?
 
    • What is the mechanism that causes a bill from a USD vendor/supplier, to post to the A/P Account for USD?
 
    • What is the mechanism that causes a bill from a EUR vendor/supplier, to post to the A/P Account for EUR?
 
    • What is the mechanism… etc.…?
 
  1. What is the mechanism that causes an invoice to a GBP customer, to be issued out of the A/R Account for GBP?
 
    • What is the mechanism that causes an invoice to a CHF customer, to be issued out of the A/R Account for CHF?
 
    • What is the mechanism that causes an invoice to a USD customer, to be issued out of the A/R Account for USD?
 
    • What is the mechanism that causes an invoice to a EUR customer, to be issued out of the A/R Account for EUR?
 
    • What is the mechanism… etc.…?

    Yes it is.

    This is accomplished by using posting groups. The system makes the connection between a vendor or customer and the AP or AR account using posting groups. For example, you would create a GBP vendor posting group. This posting group would be tied to your GBP AP G/L Account. And you would assign this posting group to all vendors that you would like to use this AP account.
