Topic: Can't change the currency of bank accounts

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Front Accounting. I'm facing a problem with the Bank Accounts.

From the beginning of the main setup there were two bank accounts. I want to change the two account to my needs. I've edited Account name, bank name, account number etc. But when I'm selecting BDT instead of USD as my bank account currency. It remains unchanged without any warning message.

Here is the screen shot :  https://prnt.sc/gkx4oz

How can I overcome this issue. Please help experts.

Re: Can't change the currency of bank accounts

The "Banking and General Ledger => GL Accounts => Edit Bank Account" does not bear the Currency details.
The "Banking and General Ledger => Bank Accounts => Edit" does not allow the changing of Currency once set. This can be changed in the database directly only. Take a backup, correct it in the sql and upload and restore it. This should be done only when you know that no transactions exist for the said Bank Account as yet.

Make sure that the Home Currency is properly set in the Setup => "Company Setup".
