    Hi Shirley:

    What actual bank accounts do you deal with? E.G. (TD Chequing CAD, TD Chequing USD) If you have only a Canadian bank account and are receiving USD funds you would DR Canadian Bank for $130.00, CR Realized Exchange $30.00, CR Revenue/Accounts Receivable $100.00. With multi-currency setup in Sage 50 and if you have a Canadian US bank account you would DR Canadian US Bank $100.00(USD), CR Revenue/Accounts Receivable $100.00(USD), Realized/Unrealized Gain/Loss is tabulated separately. I hope this answers your question!

    Hi Agate, Thanks a lot for your help. Actually, I have multi-currency setup in Sage 50, and it is a general journey entry as below, 

    I got USD38.01 in my USD bank account, and the CAD50 is out from CAD bank account. So how can I book the JE? It seems it cannot calculate by Sage.

    Hi Shirley:

    It appears as if you are missing your currency exchange button. Your US bank account in Sage 50 may not be setup as an actual US bank account but rather a Canadian bank account and/or possibly you have not setup to track for exchange and rounding differences.
