It seems that expenses can only be reported in the main currency (for me this is €) and also, that the expence cant be assign (rebilled) to a project that is set up to use another currency.
I use Euro as main account currency, but have out-of-pocket expenses in DKK when traveling and also want to assign these expences to projects set up to be invoiced in DKK.
In the rebill-to-project menu under expenses, all the projects set up in alternative currencies does not show up.

Rebill expense and multi-currency problem
-
Hi Mikkel,
You're quite right - at the moment there's no way to deal with multi-currency expenses.
We are planning to include this in a future release but in the meantime, please bear with us - and apologies for the frustration it causes.
Kind regards,

I’m
frustrated.
I have the same/similar problem - I have a project that is in EUR and I have expenses in both EUR & GBP.
- I am unable to create expenses in EUR (my main currency is GBP)
- I am unable to bill expenses in GBP to my EUR project.
Can you please tell me how I might deal with this?

I’m
that's ok for now
For now I have created a separate 'project' for each non EUR client that I keep in euro. I call these separate projects something like 'clientname-expenditures' and I then assign my expenses to that project and re-bill it on a separate invoice for that project. this works pretty well. I do the currency conversion myself then. -

I’m
frustrated
Any update on being able to rebill expenses when the project is set-up for a foreign currency?
I'm unable to reference a cost of sale to a project - symptom project not appearing on the list of projects that I can bill to.
This shortfall has been outstanding for a few months now. -
-
I’m
patiently waiting for this to be implemented!
Has this been taken any further? With projects in Euro and Sterling, it's frustrating not be able to link expenses to any Euro projects. -

I’m
thinking about leaving
Right now, I'm sitting with expenses that I can't invoice properly because of currency clashes. I can't even attach the expense and apply my own conversion by hand.
I'm wondering whether Free Agent is still worth the trouble.
Free Agent really needs to show some progress with currencies. This keeps coming up over and over again. I find it hard to believe that it's less important than, say, the recent Basecamp integration that went through. -

I’m
would like to see a 'real' soluiton
I agree that this should be fixed. We are many who do business across boarders in this industry I think.
for those of you who needs this, is it possible that you adopt my approach for the time being?:
- Create a separate 'project' for each non EUR client that you keep in euro.
- Call these separate projects something like 'clientname-expenditures' and assign expenses to that project and re-bill it on a separate invoice for that project.
This works though it's clumsy. -
-
I would really like to see this fixed too, we deal with a lot of US clients and invoicing them for expenses becomes tedious using this.

I’m
wishing I could imlement it for you.
This is really a thing that strikes me as an unnecessary and still very annoying limitation. I'd even offer to implement a solution to make FreeagentCentral work better for my company.
As most of our customers are in Euro land while we're operating from the UK, this is a major issue. -

Hi there,
I have signed up for a free trial for FreeAgent and think its a great app. All except this issue. As we regularly travel overseas and work in multiple currencies, this is going to kill the app's usefulness for us. I thought it would be worthwhile putting a note here so that management understands that they will lose business without this addition.
Please let me know if and when multiple currencies are likely to be put in place. Without them, I will not be using freeagent, which is otherwise an excellent app.
Thanks -

I’m
wasting time
I've just lost most of a day reconciling some old invoices because I got lost doing cross-currency expenses by hand.
What I want for Xmas is to be able to enter an expense in my home currency and then link it to a project in a different currency, specifying the the target amount as part of the link.
I don't want fancy automatic conversions, since I know how much I paid in the remote currency and I know how much I got charged on my credit card.
This comes up often enough that it would be cheaper for me to come and code the solution for you than to carry on. -

Hi Steve,
I do understand your frustration, and I appreciate your offer of help!
Finishing the final pieces of the multi-currency problem (namely banking and expenses) is something we definitely want to tackle in the new year.
I'm afraid I can't give any more details than that though, at this stage. -

I’m
tired of waiting
2Still looking forward to seeing this issue fixed! It't been over a year now.. Is this not considered a major issue? I thinks it's just much more important than any of the tasks you list at http://depot.freeagentcentral.com/ Could you consider adding this task there and see how people vote?

i agree with mikkel, have a multi-currency app is basic -

I’m
fed up
Seriously, is this less important than HTML emails?
-
-
I’m
also fed up.
Beggars belief, doesn't it?
-

We have the same issue. We get charged a lot of expenses in USD but we deal in GBP. It can be difficult putting them in as a bill because FX rates change so often.

This is the one major disappointment with my FreeAgent trial period so far. Love pretty much everything else about it but as most of my clients are in the US, being unable to easily link my UK/EU currency expenses to the projects I work for my US clients is a potential show stopper for me in signing up as a paying client. When can we expect to see this implemented in FreeAgent?

I’m
hopeless
After a year without even a meaningful comment from FA we must now assume that this feature will not be implemented. That might be because they don't think it's important enough for their market, or because they've painted themselves into some technical corner they can't get out of. I don't know.
We just have to take a view as to whether this is a blocker or not. For now, I'm running a project for each currency and correlating invoices by hand until I find something better. -
-
I would love to see this come to fruition at last as well, as I have many Euro based clients whilst I'm in the UK and my expenses come in different currencies.

I’m
very frustrated.
This is a real pain - and even more disapointing to see that the problem has been identified for more than a year with no progress.
This really is a common issue for me and it would save me a lot of time if I could just record in a second currency and input an exchange rate for each expense.
I like freeagent because the processes are very streamlined and save me time - with this issue freeagent it adding time to how I manage my expenses.
Please give this support request the love and respect it needs! -
-
Is there any update , or even hint of a timeline for multi-currency expense support. its simply not acceptable to not have this functionality in the global world we all operate within. The competitive products such as freshbooks offer this, and without any communication on the matter I am minded to convert.
