You can record a client payment in the currency the client actually paid in, even if it differs from the invoice currency, such as a client who pays an invoice issued in US dollars with Saudi riyals. You don’t need to convert the amount manually: the system calculates the Invoice Settlement Amount<\/strong> in the invoice currency, deducts it from the invoice balance, and automatically creates an FX Difference Journal against the foreign exchange differences account. Use this method whenever the collection currency differs from the invoice currency.<\/p>\n
