    Default Currency Posting A/R Payments

    Is there a way to have the default bank/currency pick up when you pick a client.  IE you have a client that has receivables in US funds, so when you go to post payment it defaults to the US account?  So that in theory if you were posting cdn/us/cdn that it would know which bank based on the client currency?

     

    Thanks.

    If you have multicurrency setup in Simply and a bank account already set up in USD then go to Setup, Settings, Receivables, Linked accounts and set the linked account.  Do the same for Payables.

     I think that is where the problem might be, someone originally set it up with checking off the box ‘My company uses the same bank account for all deposits, payments and payroll cheques’ which is incorrect, I don't have full access rights to know if this can be changed or not, but I will be investigating further.  Thanks for the help.

     OK, I'm back on this.  The guy that set up the linking says everything is set up properly.  When you go in to your accounts receivable payments, as you scroll through each client, you can see the bank changing back and forth, however, once our A/R guys posts a payment, it's not switching.  For example I watched him post a US payment, he went to enter a new payment for a Canadian supplier, had the Canadian supplier chosen, I asked him to try tabbing over to see if it just needed to 'set' it, but the bank did not change, it still showed the US Bank.  I was told by the guy that set this up that if it doesn't change when you change client after posting a payment that it's a Simply programming problem.  Can anyone lend any insight if it is a Simply flaw or where else to look as to why once he posts a receipt in one currency, the system is not changing the bank for the next receipt?  Thanks.

    If it does happen that, after dealing with a foreign bank transaction item the bank does not match the next item, I always get a message advising me that the bank does not match the customer/vendor when I am trying to post.  Why does it not change to suit? I guess the info just does not update, sometimes, but I definitely do not worry about it.
