• Creating one or more Foreign Currencies along with a three-letter Code, Exchange Rate, and a Display Color so they are readily identifiable on transactions.

• Creating one or more Accounts Payable Accounts in a foreign currency and automatically creating matching Exchange Accounts.

• Creating one or more Vendors in a foreign currency.

• Creating Purchase Orders, Bills, and Make A Payment entries in a foreign currency.

• Automatically accounting for a Gain or Loss as a result of a change in a foreign currency Exchange Rate.

• Tracking the Foreign Cost of an Item, along with its native Cost, so that either can be automatically added to a Purchase Order or Bill, as needed.
