In Uniconta you can post in currency. I The accounting journal can be used to enter amounts in currency. If a foreign currency code is specified, the amount must be entered in amounts in the currency fields, either in:
- Debit(Currency),
- Credit(Currency) or
- Amount currency.
If you enter currency code and only amounts in the default currency amount fields, you will get errors when checking the draft or posting the draft.
If the fields Currency, Debit/Credit (Currency) or Amount currency are not visible in the accounting journal, it can be inserted via the Layout button in the ribbon or by right-clicking in the field header and clicking Select fields or with our shortcut key 'ALT-F'.
Amounts in foreign currency are automatically converted to standard currency based on the exchange rate on that date. For example, if it is a deposit or withdrawal and the converted amount does not match the amount in the bank, you can overwrite the amount in Debit/Credit with what is actually booked in the bank.
Any exchange rate difference is automatically posted to the system account Exchange rate difference. See the System account field in the chart of accounts and find the account where the system account is specified. Read more here.
On booked financial items, you can see amounts in both currency and standard currency.
All currency fields are inserted here for the sake of example.
You don't need both Amount Currency and Debit/Credit (Currency) as they correspond to each other.
In Amount currency you can enter the amount without a sign = debit or with a minus sign = credit. Debit/Credit (Currency) is then automatically filled inand vice versa.
Unsigned amount in Amount(Currency) = Debit Amount with minus sign in Amount(Currency) = CreditTIP!
If you have a bank account in currency, you can create a special draft for posting this account, where the fields Debit(Currency), Credit(Currency) and Currency amount are inserted and saved in the layout.
Alternatively, you can create a new layout, e.g. called Currency, in the daily accounting journal, which includes the currency fields. See the description of changing and saving new layouts in screenshots.
Enforce equalization If a foreign payment is registered in DKK, you can enforce the equalization on the line using the 'Enforce equalization' field.
