Version 2.2.512

Release Notes

Feature Update for Xero Customers

Enhancement: Improved Currency Handling for Supplier Purchases

Context: In cases where a Xero contact is set up as both a customer and a supplier, Xero previously provided only the default currency of the contact. This led to a limitation where the supplier’s currency was forcibly set to the customer’s currency.

Previous Behavior:

• When a Xero contact was both a customer and a supplier, the system enforced the customer’s currency on the supplier.
• This prevented the use of a different currency for supplier transactions, such as passing in USD when the customer currency was set to GBP.

New Functionality:

• We have now enhanced the system to allow for greater flexibility in currency usage on purchase invoices.
• When the Xero synchronised contact is both a customer and a supplier, users can now open up currencies on purchase invoices.
• This means that the supplier can use a different currency from the customer, enabling transactions in USD even if the customer’s currency is set to GBP.

Benefits:

• Flexibility: Users can now manage transactions more flexibly, reflecting real-world business scenarios where different currencies might be used for purchasing and sales.
• Accuracy: Ensures that financial records in Xero accurately reflect the intended currencies for both sales and purchases, improving the precision of financial reporting and accounting.
• Efficiency: Reduces the need for manual adjustments or workarounds, streamlining the process of managing multi-currency transactions.

We hope this enhancement will significantly improve your experience with managing contacts and transactions in Xero. Thank you for your continued feedback and support.
