Manage a bank account in a foreign currency¶
In Odoo, every transaction is recorded in the default currency of the company, and reports are all based on that default currency. When you have a bank account in a foreign currency, for every transaction, Odoo stores two values:
The debit/credit in the currency of the company;
The debit/credit in the currency of the bank account.
Currency rates are updated automatically using the web services of a banking institution. By default, Odoo uses the European Central Bank’s web services but other options are available.
