Change the currency on an invoice

The default currency

Every invoice is raised in AED (UAE dirham) by default, because that is the local currency. If you bill a particular client in another currency, you can change it on the invoice before you send.

Where the currency box is

When you build an invoice, look near the bottom of the form, on the same row as the Invoice date and the optional note. There is a small box showing AED. That is the currency box. It takes a three-letter currency code.

How to change it

1. Log in to your workspace.
2. In the left menu, under Finance, click Invoices, then open New invoice. (The same box appears when you raise an invoice from a company's Send an invoice tab.)
3. Add your recipient and line items.
4. Click the small AED box near the bottom of the form.
5. Clear it and type the three-letter code for the currency you want, for example USD for US dollars, GBP for pounds, or EUR for euros. The box only holds three letters and shows them in capitals.
6. Preview the invoice. The subtotal, VAT and total now show in the currency you chose.
7. Send when it looks right.

What changing the currency does

The currency you set is the currency the invoice is billed and displayed in. Every amount on the invoice, and the totals in your records, use that currency's code. When you later record a payment against the invoice, it is recorded in the same currency.
