Rounding issues with FX resulting in Partial Payment Status

Jeff Hintze   ( User )

Commented 2 years ago

I have an invoice in Philippine Pesos that gets paid in US Dollars. I love how Akaunting lets me set the FX Rate when making the Peso invoice and it shows me a US Dollar conversion (in the edit state of the invoice unfortunately not in the view state of the invoice which is a separate issue). When I receive payment for the amount shown in US Dollars and add that as a payment, because of the rounding done from the FX conversion, it results in a P0.01 shortage on the invoice. I guess I need to write that 1 centavo off as a FX Loss but how can I apply that loss to the invoice so the invoice will show up as fully paid?

Hi there, did you ever find out how to do this? I'm having the same issue but actually bigger with foreign exchange effects.

Unfortunately no, I ended up moving to a different solution because Akaunting lacked some features that really impacted my business, this being one of them.

Just out of plain curiosity, where did you move to?

I initially did a free trial of QuickBooks but found it had some limitations to my needs as well, so I ended up with Xero. It was more than I wanted to pay for a small business, but it also met all of my needs and has been super easy to use. So far, I have nothing negative to say about it except for the price.
