Hi Stuart,

Thanks for using Sage City.

At present, foreign bank transactions must be entered manually and cannot be imported. I would suggest adding this option to the ideas Board so that we may see it in a future version of the software:  Ideas Board >

Thanks for the reply. Is there anything we can do instead? I.e. is this a problem with just sage50, does moving to any other sage product help this? 

I would imagine there are lots of businesses in the UK taking euro payments, would you know what general practise they do as not all will be adding payments manually when there can be thousands of transactions. I.e. Do we need two sage products, one with base currency GBP & one with base currency euros?

Hi Stuart,

You can import foreign invoices and credits in Sage 50 Accounts but not bank transactions. 

You can import foreign currency transactions, including payments and receipts into Sage 200 >

For Sage 50 Accounts, I would still recommend suggesting  this on the Ideas Board >

I'll leave this thread open in case anyone else in the community has alternative suggestions.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions.

I would rather not move to sage200 as its another non cloud product in my mind. Do you know if 'sage intacct' product or 'sage accounting' product accept the import of foreign currency transactions?

Hi Stuart, thanks for coming back. You can't import foreign currency bank transactions into Sage Accounting, but I've checked with a colleague in Intacct support and they advised you can import them in Intacct.

Thanks so much for the help. We will need to look at 200 or Intacct
