# Multi-Currency

## Introduction

The Multi-Currency App simplifies managing jobs that require different currencies by allowing you to set and apply various exchange rates for transactions, such as jobs and purchase orders.

This feature is essential for those of you who are handling work across multiple countries, where exchange rates and currency types may vary throughout a job’s lifecycle.

In this guide, we'll show you how to activate and use multi-currency capabilities to make managing international transactions smoother, providing greater flexibility and accuracy for your financial data.

## Setting up your Currencies

To set up a new currency within your Joblogic system, navigate to Settings > Library > Currencies.

Click Add Currency in the top right corner

Here you can enter your Conversion Rate, Currency and Exchange Rate Date.

Your Base Currency will pull from your default settings in Settings > System Setup

![image3.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image3%2834%29.png)

Click Save when you are ready

![image4.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image4%2827%29.png)

To edit any currencies you have set up, simply click the Currency Name

You will now only be able to amend the Conversion Rate and Date.

The Currency cannot be changed, to set up a new one, click Add Currency from the main page again

## Using Multi-Currency in Joblogic

When logging any of the following into the system, you’ll have an option to toggle the Multi-Currency option. It will be greyed out until the main entity has been chosen (i.e. Customer, Site, Subcontractor, Supplier)

- Stock PO
- Supplier PO
- Subcontractor PO
- Log Job
- Log Quote
- Log PPM Contract
- Log PPM Quote
- Add Project
- Log Project Quote

*Example*: ![image10.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image10%2823%29.png)

If you have set up a Preferred Currency as per the previous section of this guide, this toggle will be turned on automatically, when you’ve chosen the relevant entity (i.e. Customer, Site, Subcontractor, Supplier)

![image11.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image11%2820%29.png)

You will be able to amend the Conversion Rate here, if needed.

![image12.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image12%2821%29.png)

If you do amend this, you’ll get the option to update the Exchange Rate Date, and the Library Conversion Rate.

![image13.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image13%2815%29.png)

### Purchase Orders & Purchase Invoicing

There are a few extra columns and totals to help with calculating your conversion rates against the PO and any associated invoices.

Navigate to Purchasing > All Purchase Orders and select your PO

![image25.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image25%286%29.png)

Click the Items tab

![image26.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image26%287%29.png)

When adding a new item using Add Item, you can enter either the Base Cost or Converted Cost. The other value will be populated automatically based on the applicable exchange rate.

![additem.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/additem(1).png)

On the main Items page, the base cost for each item is displayed, with the converted cost shown underneath.

![itemstotals.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/itemstotals.png)

Further down the page, the Totals area displays the costs in two columns: one for the base currency and one for the converted currency.

This allows you to view the total costs in both your base currency and the converted currency.

![overalltotals.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/overalltotals.png)

Once the items have been delivered, select the Supplier Invoices tab.

![delivered.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/delivered.png)

Select Add Invoice.

![image30.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image30%287%29.png)

At this stage, you can amend the Conversion Rate if needed.

If you amend this, you can then update the Exchange Rate Date and the Library

![updaterate.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/updaterate.png)

When you click Save, a confirmation window will pop up, informing you that the conversion rate on the invoice does not match the original PO.

Click Confirm if you are happy to add an adjustment

![image32.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image32%285%29.png)

Your line items will show both base and conversion costs.

The totals table will include this information too

![invoice.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/invoice.png)

If you navigate back to Items tab of your PO, there is also a new Exchange Rate Adjustment table so you can keep track of any amendments made due to fluctuations with the rates

![adjustment.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/adjustment.png)

### Job Costs & Invoicing

There are a few extra columns and totals to help with calculating your conversion rates against the Job and any associated invoices too.

Navigate to your Job (Jobs > All Jobs > select job number)

![image16.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image16%2813%29.png)

Click the Costs tab

![image17.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image17%2811%29.png)

Whether your costs come through automatically from the mobile app, or you add them manually, you’ll see a Conversion Rate header, and a Converted Subtotal Sell header

![image18.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image18%2810%29.png)

Further down the page, under the Totals area, there is a Conversion Rate, Converted Total Cost and Converted Total Sell table

So, you’ll still be able to see all costs in your own base currency, as well as the converted currency.

![image19.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image19%2813%29.png)

Click Add Invoice when you are ready to do so

![image20.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image20%2812%29.png)

Again, at this stage, you can amend the Conversion Rate if needed.

If you amend this, you can then update the Exchange Rate Date and the Library

![image21.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image21%289%29.png)

As you update the Conversion Rate, your line items will automatically update their Conversion Rate and Converted Totals too.

![image22.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image22%2811%29.png)

The totals at the bottom of the page will show you the following information:

- Conversion Rate
- Converted Sub Total
- Converted Total Excluding VAT
- Converted Total Including VAT
- Converted Grand Total

![image24.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/image24%287%29.png)
