Accounting Transactions: Bank Reconciliation Report Displays 0.00 for Foreign Currency

Bank reconciliation report on foreign currency is showing 0.00 when there is transaction with amount for customer payments.

Updated over a week ago

This issue occurs because the foreign currency details are not recorded in the bank ledger.

  • When you receive a customer payment:

    • The Debtor (customer) ledger records the foreign currency exchange

    • But the Bank ledger may only record the amount in local currency

Since the Bank Reconciliation Report uses the Bank Ledger, it shows 0.00 for foreign currency.

Follow these steps to correctly record foreign currency in the bank ledger:

  1. Go to Journal.

  2. Open the Transaction file maintenance.

  3. Click create transaction.

  4. Click Add.

  5. Enter Bank (Debit)

    • Select Bank Ledger (e.g., 3011/000)

    • Enter amount

    • Press F9 to add foreign exchange rate

    • Click Save

  6. Enter Debtor (Credit)

    • Select Debtor Ledger (e,g., 3000/C01)

    • Enter amount (local currency)

    • Click Save

  7. Click Accept.

Important:

  • Always press F9 in the Bank Ledger to include foreign currency

  • This ensures the report shows the correct amount
