Hello,
I like Solar Accounts and it meets most of my requirements except for multi-currency support, so I have a suggestion for possibly integrating this:
When entering payments/receipts, the default currency would be sterling but there would also be a drop-down box where one can choose/enter currency symbol/name.
When an amount is being entered, there would be a field next to it for entering the exchange rate (if a different currency is chosen other than the default)
The above solution should support multi-currencies as well as allow the various reports to be accurate.
I noticed that quiet a few customers have asked about multi-currency support over the years and were told that it was being considered. Any updates?
Many Thanks.
Hi Charles,
Thanks for your feedback - I'll note your suggestions about implementing muti-currency features. However, we don't have plans to add multi-currency in the short term (next 6 months). It may be something we add it in the long-term, but we cannot promise this.
Regards,
I need multi currency too. I also work abroad and I'm currently using the trial version of Solar. Do you know when you will think about adding this important feature?
Hello S Pierre,
I'm afraid we cannot say when (or even if) multi-currency support will be added in future.

Hi - I'd like to add my 2 cents to this discussion - all I need is to be able to associate a currency with a file - not by transaction within a file if that would make it easier.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for your feedback. It would certainly be easier to make the currency setting 'per file' (rather than 'per transaction') so it's likely that we will implement this approach first.
Regards,
Just to add to the requests, I would like multi-currency too as I am expecting to start billing in $. Solar is a great package with excellent support and this would really make life easier.
Each file in Solar Accounts now has it's own currency, so if you manage multiple businesses in different currencies you don't need to keep changing the currency setting.
