Overview
Accounting Seed's multi-currency functionality is an additional feature that must be enabled in your organization by Accounting Seed Support. Please refer to Accounting Seed Pricing for details on cost. Prior to enabling Accounting Seed multi-currency, Salesforce multi-currency must be enabled. Please have your System Administrator enable multi-currency in your Salesforce org by performing the following steps.
Enable Multi-Currency
- Confirm Authority. Confirm the person requesting multi-currency has the appropriate authority to enable multi-currency and has considered the implications of enabling multi-currency. (Visit this Salesforce Help site to read about important considerations for enabling multi-currency.)
Note: Once Accounting Seed multi-currency is activated, it CANNOT be deactivated. (We encourage testing this first in a trial/DEV org or a sandbox.)
- Enable Multi-Currency. Navigate to Setup > Settings (Administer in Classic Interface) > Company Settings > Company Information > Edit.
- Enable Multi-Currency Settings. Ensure that your selected currency locale is the default currency that you want to use for current and future records.
- Confirm that you have enabled Advanced Currency Management.
- Navigate to Setup > Settings > Company Settings > Manage Currencies.
- Click the Enable button under Advanced Currency Management.
- Confirm that you have disabled Parenthetical Currency Conversion.
- Navigate to Setup > Settings > Company Settings > Manage Currencies.
- Click the Disable button under Parenthetical Currency Conversion.
Once this has been completed, your screen should look like the one below.
- Enable Your Org. Submit a case with Accounting Seed Support through the Customer Support Portal to enable your organization for multi-currency within the Accounting Seed application.
- Set up your currencies and exchange rates in the dated exchange rates table (see Adding Currencies and Exchange Rates.).
- Adjust page layouts to include multi-currency related fields.
- Adjust Page Layouts. After you have successfully enabled multi-currency, you will need to edit the page layouts for the Accounting Seed objects. Please refer to the table below.
