/(Feature Updates)

The final holiday stretch is fast approaching and depending on your type of business, you are either pushing hard to get the last sales of Q4 on the books, or perhaps you are winding down and prepping your sales strategy for the new year. However your team processes invoices and payments, QuickBooks still ranks as one of our top-connected apps (often paired with monday.com for project management). If you work with customers outside of the US and need to deal with varying currencies, today’s update will cover what multicurrency is and how Glances now supports this feature (once it has been turned on within your QuickBooks Online account).

Glances now supports QuickBooks multicurrency feature for viewing data from invoices, estimates, and more

What multicurrency means and how to turn it on

In simple terms, multicurrency is an available QuickBooks feature that enables your business to pay funds and receive funds in currencies different than your home country’s currency. For example, if your business is based in the United States and uses the US dollar for transactions, you can accurately bill a client located in Europe using euros. More formally, QuickBooks mentions, “Multicurrency allows you to pay and get paid in the foreign currencies of customers, vendors, or bank accounts that don’t use your home currency. Once it’s on, you can add transactions in another currency and QuickBooks handles all currency conversions.”

The benefits of using this QuickBooks feature are 1) the comfort of reviewing an invoice in a currency familiar to you (the same goes for your customers), and 2) the correct conversion rates are automatically applied without you looking up current data or calculating totals.

If you are a QuickBooks user and are interested in this feature, the following support article teaches you how to turn on multicurrency in your QuickBooks Online account. This step must be done first before you can view multicurrency data within your QuickBooks Glances.
