When you try to save a journal entry in Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2008 or Microsoft Office Accounting Professional 2008, you receive the following error message:
The currency is violating the currency setup on one or more accounts.
This error is caused if a journal entry is created that contains more than one currency.
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:
Method 1: Use the Transfer Funds feature
To use the
Transfer Funds feature, follow these steps:
- Click Banking.
- Under Start a Task, click Transfer Funds.
- In the Transfer Funds dialog box, under Transfer from, click the arrow next to Nominal name, and select the account where you want to withdraw funds.
- Under Transfer to, click the arrow next to Nominal name and select the account where you want to deposit funds.
- In the Amount box, enter the value of the funds you want to transfer.
- Click Transfer.
Note You can transfer funds between any two bank, credit card or financial accounts, except stock asset accounts and accounts linked to HM Revenue & Customs.
Note Every transfer is entered into the nominal activity of each account. After you record a transfer, you cannot delete it. If a transfer is entered incorrectly, you can edit it or mark it void.
Method 2: Change the currency of the journal entry
To change the currency of the journal entry, follow these steps:
- Open the Journal Entry dialog box.
- In the Currency list, click the second currency being used in the journal entry.
Note By default, the journal entry screen uses the United Kingdom pound (GBP) as the currency.
