we're using the Electronic Payments bundle; I'm trying to run a scenario: • 2x bank acccounts; 1xUSD, 1xAUD • 2x bills to pay; 1xUSD, 1xCHF • If i use the AUD account in the payrun, I see both USD bill and CHF bill. • If i use the USD account, I only see the USD bill Both GL accounts are setup the same except the currency Both Bank accounts have been setup the same except the currency and same payment template Is there something I should be checking as to why the CHF transaction only appears within the AUD account?

I'm guessing your subsidiary's base currency is AUD - only bank accounts in the base currency can enter transactions in "non-bank" currencies

Check on your template if the checkbox « multi-currency » is check

Base currency of the sub is AUD

annoying, right? I assume it's tied to the revaluation rules but it is a bit of a gap You can get around it with a sub-account in the currency in question (in your example CHF), but you have to process the payments as different files, and do a manual cleanup via the P&L realised gain/loss (put the CHF account back to zero, adjust out the resulting amount of USD from the USD account

sounds messy; and at that point, probably cleaner to just punch the transaction directly into the bank, though throws all the accounting controls away

yeah, or you have to arrange some kind of sweep from your USD account to your AUD one, and pay everything from that. Depending on the file format you're using too, it might be possible for someone to edit the text file as on most australian bank file formats there are no checksums

'edit the text file'....the auditor within is screaming; I've actually had an instance where the text file had been edited before uploading to the bank. Took a while to recover funds...
