A mapped Currency field should contain a three-letter currency code. The importer checks that explicit currency information agrees with the selected source account.
- Read the statement or bank export to confirm the account’s currency.
- Map Currency only when the source has an appropriate currency column. Check for names, symbols or notes that may not be a valid code.
- Compare the interpreted rows and investigate any Review currency message before importing.
A value such as a currency name or symbol is not the same representation as a three-letter code. Prepare a reviewed working copy only after confirming which currency the source actually uses.
Keep one account currency per import
If the file contains movements for several currency accounts, separate them and choose the correct source account for each. Do not label every row with one currency to force the file through.
The importer does not convert amounts using the code. A foreign purchase amount and its settled account-currency amount can be separate fields in a bank export. Select the actual account movement and preserve the original evidence for any related currency or fee review.
