Once your currencies are set up, you must begin assigning them to new customers and vendors who will use them. The selection you make is important, since it determines the currency in which all future transactions for each customer or vendor will be conducted.
You can assign a currency other than your home currency to an employee if you like -- but only if you don't plan to write paychecks for the employee using MYOB AccountEdge. If you plan to write paychecks for the employee using AccountEdge, you must select your home currency for the individual.
Selecting a foreign currency may be useful if the employee is a salesperson who makes all of his or her sales in another currency -- French francs, for example -- and you don't plan to use AccountEdge to pay the employee. When you print reports that show individual salespeople's sales amounts, the amount will be displayed in whatever currency has been assigned to the salespeople.
Only one currency can be assigned to each customer, vendor and salesperson in AccountEdge. If you do business with a customer or vendor in more than one currency, you'll have to create an additional customer card or vendor card for each additional currency in which you do business.
Customers, vendors and salespeople for whom you've already recorded transactions are automatically assigned the currency in which they conduct business with you. This selection can't be changed. If you wish to begin using a different currency for these individuals, you'll need to create a new customer, vendor or employee card for them. This is necessary to ensure that historical amounts for these individuals aren't misstated.
