Booking multi-currency invoices and costs, how does the package track currency effects?

Multi-currency requires recording the rate per transaction on delivery date, and booking exchange differences separately. Not every package handles this well, lighter freelancer packages can fall short.

Try this first

  1. 1Enable multi-currency in your package (Exact, Twinfield, AFAS, Moneybird Pro support this, some plans require an upgrade).
  2. 2Set a primary currency (typically EUR) and enable automatic rate fetching via ECB rates, saving manual input.
  3. 3Book each invoice at the rate on invoice date, not payment date, and exchange difference on payment to a separate 'currency result' account.
  4. 4Reconcile foreign currency bank accounts to book value quarterly, a growing gap means missing rate revaluations.
  5. 5Close the year with revaluation of open items and FX bank balances at the balance-date rate.

When to bring us in

If the currency result drifts structurally, we can tune booking rules and the revaluation flow.
