Bills and payables

Check a bill's currency before entering amounts

Use the source currency and current company requirements.

Updated 2026-11-11

Choose the bill's Currency before reviewing its lines and totals. Amounts on the supplier document belong to that currency. A familiar currency symbol or a similarly sized payment is not enough to establish the correct currency.

Compare the source document with the selected draft currency and the company's current book requirements. Native issuance checks the supported accounting context. If the draft cannot proceed under the current settings, resolve that mismatch instead of relabeling the source amounts.

Recorded settlement evidence must also match the document's currency and direction. A payment shown in another currency should not be treated as the same available movement merely because its approximate converted value resembles the bill total.

When reviewing multiple companies or supplier documents, keep currency with each amount in your notes. The payables aging view separates currencies where a combined balance would be misleading. Confirm the saved draft currency and total before issuance, and use the current workflow's supported treatment for any currency issue that remains.
