Does adding a currency convert my reports?

No. Reports stay in the company Currency. The extra currencies are for recording the goods invoice value on bookings.

Can I change the company Currency after I have started?

You can, but existing amounts are not converted. Treat it as a day-one decision.

Add currencies

You will have your base currency set on the company and any other currencies you deal in listed, so bookings can record a goods invoice value in the currency on the customer’s paperwork.

NShine ERP has one company Currency, set under Settings › Company, that every amount, invoice, payment and report uses. The Currencies tab under Settings is the list of currencies available in the company, each with a Name and a Symbol. The list already includes common currencies such as AED, INR, KWD, QAR, SAR, AUD, BHD and USD, and you can add more.

The extra currencies appear on bookings, where the Goods Invoice Value in Goods Info has a currency picker. That lets you record the value of the goods carried in the currency on the customer’s invoice, for e-way bill, customs or insurance purposes, while your own freight amounts stay in the company currency.

Before You Start

The company Currency chosen under Settings › Company, with No. of Decimal set to match it (two for most currencies, three for currencies such as KWD or BHD).
The list of other currencies that appear on your customers’ goods invoices.

Steps

Open Settings › Currencies. Check whether the currency you need is already listed before adding it.
Click Add, enter the Name (the three-letter code is clearest) and the Symbol, then save.
Open Settings › Company and confirm the Currency is your base currency. This is the currency of your books. Change it only before the first booking or invoice.
On a booking, open Goods Info, enter the Goods Invoice Value and pick its currency. This value describes the goods; it is not your freight charge and does not post to your ledgers.
Save the booking. The value and currency print on the LR and appear in booking report columns.

Currency Fields

Field	What to enter	Required
Name	The currency name or code, for example AED or USD	Yes
Symbol	The sign printed next to amounts	Yes

What This Changes

The currency picker on Goods Invoice Value in a booking lists the new currency.
The LR print and booking reports show the goods value with its currency.
Your freight, invoices, payments, balances and all finance reports remain in the company Currency; adding a currency does not change them.

Tips

Use the three-letter code as the Name so the picker reads the same way for everyone.
If you invoice customers in a different currency from your books, discuss the setup with support before the first invoice; the goods value field is not the place for freight in a second currency.
Exchange rates are not part of the Currencies tab. Record the value in the currency on the paperwork and leave conversion to your accountant.
