We have an ongoing issue that I am looking for advice on. Here are the details: • We have our foreign entities set up with a base currency of USD • We get bills for a foreign entity in USD • We want to pay the bill from a bank account that is in local currency (GBP) Netsuite will not allow this. suitehelp article states In making Vendor Payments, users are able to only select Bank Accounts having the same currency as the Vendor or the Company's base currency. To illustrate: • Vendor A's Currency: US Dollars • User's Base Currency: US Dollars Users may only pay from US Dollar bank account. Other bank currencies are restricted from the list of available bank accounts. This is currently logged on Enhancement 229321. Based on this I would think if the vendor base currency was in GBP it would work and we could have a different vendor record for each currency but this too does not seem to work. Has anyone else had this issue and found a workaround that does not involve a bunch of transfers and intercompany work?

From my work with a company with subs in USA & UK, a subsidiary's AP bills need to be from a bank account in that same subsidiary.
When a payment is made on behalf of the other entity, we have a netsuite GL bank account that makes the "payment". In the background we have a script that then creates the Interco journal.

I'd create a sub-account of the GBP bank account denominated in USD, and pay from that. Then transfer the amount at the relevant exchange rate out of the GBP account. I don't think Netsuite restricts sub-accounts to the currency of the parent Can't think of another way to do it, sadly
