Hello, what is the method to correct a bank account that is off balance with a special exchange rate 5555 or something? I cannot find it anymore online.

After Audit adjustment some accounts went off balance and I remember years ago there was a solution with entering a special exchange rate. But I cannot find it in QBO help anymore.

You can enter your exchange rate by navigating to the Account and settings of your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, c-goetz. I'll guide you through this process.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Account and settings.
  2. Click on the Advanced menu.
  3. In the Currency section, press the Manage Currencies link.



  4. Choose the exchange rate you want to update and select Edit currency exchange in the Action column.



  5. Hit Save when done.

 

Once you save the changes, the currencies list shows the new exchange rate, the date and time it was updated, and who made the update. Keep in mind that you can use the exchange rate for the whole day. If you want to use it again, you need to re-enter the rate.

 

To correct the bank account that is off balance, consider categorising and matching your downloaded transactions based on your bank statement. You can do so by following the steps outlined in this article: Categorise online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online. I also suggest comparing your register from your Chart of Accounts to the transactions shown on your bank account to check what causes the difference. 

 

If you find yourself uncertain about how to accurately adjust the balance or handle complex currency transactions, it is advisable to seek guidance from your accountant. Their expertise can provide the clarity and support you need to ensure everything is managed correctly.
