Multicurrency customers in Accpac 5.4

[wysiwygGER01]

Hi,

Just wondering whether there's a way of setting up multi-currency customer in Accpac 5.4?
Situation is that we have projects in PJC which are multi-currency on the cost site (e.g. expenses) but we also need it to be multi-currency on the revenue site.
I'm basically looking for a way to send multi currency invoices to the same customer (without having to create duplicate customers for each currency)

Yes, you add a multi-currency account set, then assign the customer to it.

But you can still only invoice in the customer's currency, or am I missing something?

Oh, right, I missed what he said.

Forget my first answer, customers can only have one home currency.

Hi,

thanks for your replies.
So the only way is to upgrade to PJC 5.5 and set up the same customer for different currencies?
Apparently PJC 5.5 lets you have more then 1 customer per project.

But somehow this feels like fixing one issue by creating new ones....

What are the new issues?

Well I don't know yet. Hopefully it's just the reporting site of things which becomes harder.

I'm thinking of either having multiple customers for the same job or setting up separate jobs for each currency (one job for the cost and three jobs for the income in the foreign currencies)
