RE: Applying Cash Receipts
Hi Jackie
The functionality you are looking for is available in later versions of GP - it came in as part of GP 2013 R2 - give or take a version.
With that functionality, this scenario works:
Functional Currency USD
Invoice CAD
Payment CAD
You can apply the CAD payment at the time you enter it. You can't however process Payment CAD and apply to USD invoice or vice versa at the time of entry.
In the version you are using, you do have to enter and post the receipt and then do the apply. I think it is because the Apply process is when the gain / loss on exchange rate is calculated. I suspect that the code that does that was not part of the receipting function in earlier versions. I am assuming that that is what changed in the later version - they included that calculation as part of the receipting code.
Hope that helps clarify for you.
Cheers
Heather
