Currencies
neoo can handle transactions in multiple currencies. Add any foreign currencies your business works with at System → Currencies (requires the currencies permission), and neoo will track exchange rate differences automatically.
Your base currency
The base (home) currency is set when the dataset is created via the Chart of Accounts template. It cannot be changed after creation. All reports and account balances are expressed in the base currency. In the currency list, the RN column numbers your currencies — the currency with RN 1 is your base currency.
Adding a foreign currency
Click Add Currency and fill in the dialog:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Currency | The three-letter ISO 4217 code in capitals (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP) — anything else is rejected. |
| Precision | How many decimal places amounts in this currency use — 0 to 10, default 2. Keep the default unless the currency genuinely uses a different precision. |
Click Save to add the currency to your dataset.
Double-check the ISO code before saving — a mistyped currency cannot be corrected or removed afterwards.
Editing a currency
Use the Edit action on a currency’s row to change its precision. Changing the three-letter code does not rename the currency: saving under a new code adds it as an additional currency, and the old code stays in the list. Currencies cannot be removed from this screen — contact Support to have one removed.
Using foreign currencies on transactions
Once a currency is added, it becomes available in the currency selector on invoices, payments, and other transaction forms. The system will ask you to enter an exchange rate when you post a transaction in a foreign currency.
If your base currency is CHF, click the arrow icon inside the exchange rate field to auto-fetch the rate. Rates are sourced from the Swiss Federal Customs Administration (BAZG) at backend-rates.bazg.admin.ch and represent the official monthly average for the transaction’s month. The arrow icon appears in every exchange rate field, but the automatic lookup only works when your base currency is CHF — with any other base currency, clicking it shows an error and you enter the rate manually.
Exchange rate differences (gains and losses when invoices are settled at a different rate than when they were issued) are automatically posted to the Foreign Exchange Gain/Loss account configured on the Accounting tab of System → Defaults.
