Sometimes a vendor is paid from GBP account and sometimes it is paid with USD account. However, when making the prepayment, only the CAD account may be selected. How can we create a vendor prepayment from either bank account within that Entity for that vendor and be able to apply it to the vendor bill?

The advance paid account is set up with currency ?

No

Is the USD account classified as a bank account?

What is the currency of the bank account selected in the Vendor Prepayment?

@j theyre all bank accounts

Strange i made a test Bill in USD on German Sub ( Primary EUR) By bill payment I can pay with USD bank Account of the German Sub By vendor prepayment I select USD in currency and I can select USD bank account

You made the prepayment in same currency as the bill, that is exactly whats not the case. The prepayment is done much before a bill comes in. So thats made in CAD, but the bill later comes in USD or GBP and then we can't apply Try making a prepayment in EUR and applying to the bill you made

I redid the test without prepayment, when I want to pay an invoice in dollars for my German subsidiary, I can only pay in dollars and nothing else. I can’t select currency EUR to pays Bill in USD As with an vendor prepayment, it is normal not to be able to apply CAD to a USD invoice.

And thats precisely the question - how to handle these, since now the prepayments are stuck not being able to be applied Any workaround ideas welcome

I'm not sure if you can use an clearing account or something else that works for paying bills but not for VPs. create a JE to cancel the VP when you have the bill and recreate the VP with the correct currency

Do you have GBP set up as an available currency on the vendor record? That could be part of the issue. (e: nvm I see the other thread now, so that's not it.) That said, while I've never used Vendor Prepayments, I do know on Customer Payments and Vendor Payments you can only pay with a currency that matches the currency on the invoice/bill or the primary currency of the sub the doc is on. I'm guessing the same applies to VPs. Examples: • EUR sub, GBP Inv - can only pay the invoice using a GBP or EUR account • USD sub, INR Inv - can only pay the invoice using INR or USD account • CAD sub, EUR inv - can only pay the invoice using EUR or CAD account • and so on Unfortunately NS doesn't currently possess the "triangulation" or whatever you'd call it to deal with a third currency. Third currency being one that doesn't match the original doc or the sub default currency.
