An existing source account’s currency is read only in Account settings. The form explains that changing it requires a reviewed source change, because the currency identifies how the account’s recorded amounts should be interpreted.
- Compare the saved account currency with the original statement. Confirm you are looking at the correct account and company.
- If you selected the wrong account for an import, return to the picker and choose the correct source account before reading or committing rows.
- If the account’s saved currency is itself incorrect, raise that specific source-record issue rather than editing amounts to fit it.
A symbol in a CSV does not convert money into the selected account’s currency. The import checks currency markers and account identity separately.
Preserve the evidence
Keep the statement showing the account’s currency and identify any existing imports that used the account. This helps assess the effect of correcting the source record without guessing at conversions.
Avoid creating a second account immediately if the existing one already has history. First determine whether this is a separate currency subaccount or an incorrect record for the same account. Those situations require different handling.
