A currency-symbol conflict means the amount’s explicit marker does not agree with the selected account or currency field. Confirm the source account and file before removing any marker.
- Compare the statement currency with the selected financial account.
- Check the mapped Currency column, if present, and any currency code or symbol inside the amount.
- Correct a wrong account selection or a source-format problem using the original evidence, then inspect Preview again.
A symbol is not an exchange rate. The importer does not convert a foreign purchase amount merely because you selected an account in another currency.
Distinguish purchase and settlement amounts
Some exports show the original foreign purchase and the settled bank-account amount separately. Use the column that represents the actual movement in the selected account, preserving other evidence for review.
If a shared symbol such as a dollar sign is ambiguous, verify the three-letter currency from the statement. Do not assume the country from the merchant name. Keep the original file and explain any working-file conversion so a later reviewer can trace the amount and its currency.
