Receiving payment in different currency to invoice

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 130

Hi,

I would like some help to understand how BC Dynamics deals with transactions in different currencies.

So, I have a customer who was invoiced in £. They paid with two separate payments in Euros.

1) Payment Amount 3264.58 € = LCY £2938.12 (0.9)

2) Payment Amount 457.04 € = LCY £326.46 (0.71) 

The invoice was entered with Amount £3264.58, so the above payments should settle the invoice, as LCY amounts match the £ amount of the invoice.

However, when I go to apply amounts I can't understand what BC is doing. If I click on the invoice line and Apply payments, I am left with a balance on the payments. If I click on the payments line and Apply payments I am left with a balance on the invoice.

For example, here's a screen shot when I click on the invoice and Apply payments. As you can see, the conversion rate for the payment line has now been altered. I entered 457.04 = 326.46 (and indeed these are the amounts that show on the Customer ledger), but in this screen, BC has altered the payment to 457.04 = 411.34. I am unable to click onto the Appln Remaining Amount box to change this (I assume this is LCY amount? Just called something different)

How do I settle this without any balances left in Accounts Receivable?

Many thanks,

Nicola

    So, what I did in the end was I clicked on the payment and Applied entries to the invoice. This cleared the payment and left me with a balance on the Invoice. I then created a credit memo for the Customer for the LCY difference and posted this to the currency revaluation with no VAT and in the same (LCY) currency as the invoice. This could then be applied to the invoice and cleared the customer ledger.

    Here are some training material that might be useful for handling multi currencies in Business Central

    docs.microsoft.com/.../

    In short you need to be sure to set the correct currency amount and local currency amount when you post the payment.

    The the system will post currency gain/loss depending on fluctuations in the exchange rates between the time of invoicing and the time of payment.
