• Print Invoices Using Different Currencies

Invoices with foreign currency may be required by your customer. Besides, for your records, you might also want to keep a copy of the foreign currency invoice. TallyPrime allows you to print invoices in the currency used during the transaction.

• Record Purchase Vouchers with Multiple Currencies 

You may need to buy products or services from a supplier headquartered outside of India. Additionally, the merchant may require payments to be made in that nation’s currency. Therefore, TallyPrime allows you to create a purchase voucher in the foreign currency when the base currency and the currency of the purchase transaction are different.

• Changing Base Currency

Based on the nation that was selected when the firm was created, TallyPrime selects the base currency. For instance, TallyPrime sets ₹ as your base currency if you choose India as the country. Additionally, multiple currencies in TallyPrime feature will establish US$ as the base currency if you specify the USA as the country. Later, you may want to alter the same for your business, though. For instance, your base currency might be ₹, but depending on how often you use it for transactions, you might wish to switch to USD or another currency.

• Forex Profit or Loss

Exchange rates fluctuate based on economic changes around the world. On a certain date or time, you may have sold a specific set of items or provided a service at a certain rate of exchange and received payment for the same on another date or time. It is possible that the exchange rate at both points in time may not be the same. Due to the fluctuating exchange rate, your business may experience forex gains or losses.

For example, assume that ₹ is your base currency in TallyPrime and USD is the other currency used for the transaction.

Now, you made a total sale of $100 on May 11, 2022, to a specific consumer headquartered in the United States. Assume that the entire sum is ₹7000 according to the currency rate on May 11, 2022, which was ₹70 for every USD. When the consumer makes the payment on May 11, May 12, or a later date, the conversion rate becomes ₹71 for each USD.

The final billing amount is ₹7100 due to the fluctuation in the exchange rate. Therefore, the trade resulted in a ₹100 forex gain for you. Such earnings and losses are displayed in TallyPrime’s Balance Sheet as Unadjusted Forex Gain/Loss. To account for such foreign exchange gains or losses, you must record a transaction in accordance with accounting standards. You may easily record these transactions with TallyPrime.

• Cash Forecasting Programmes for Multiple Currencies

In cash forecasting, you examine one or more bank accounts and estimate cash flow for a given period of time.

In the cash forecasting method, three currencies are recycled:

• Basic currency: The company’s currency is the base currency. The currency code for the domestic side of a foreign currency transaction functions as the node currency.
• Money for nodes:  The system uses the node currency to revalue and store cash forecast amounts associated with a single cash type.
• Displaying money: The node amounts for all cash types are dynamically revalued into this common currency by the system for presentation purposes.

• Banking in Tally Prime

You can effortlessly handle your banking needs with the help of the numerous banking services and utilities that TallyPrime offers. Banking is made simple using TallyPrime’s features, such as automatic bank reconciliation, pre-defined cheque formats, cheque management, and e-payments.

However, when these transactions happen between banks, authorized dealers, or banks and dealers, they are not covered by the GST and are not charged. The price of one currency relative to another is known as the exchange rate. When nations use gold or another accepted standard, and each currency is worth a particular amount of the metal or other standard, the exchange rate is “fixed”. On July 1st, 2017, the Good & Service Tax came into effect. As a result, the goods and services tax on currency conversion was revised from 15% to 18% and was calculated using the following taxable value: (a) A minimum of 1% of the entire amount of foreign currency transactions for up to ₹1 lakh.
