Creating a Multi Currency Invoice
---------------------------------

To enable a multi currency invoice you need to do two things:

1. Create a Customer entry with a [different currency](https://github.com/frappe/books_docs/blob/master/transactions/multi-currency-invoicing#customer-and-company-currency) from the company currency.
2. Select the Customer when creating a new invoice.

This will display the [exchange rate](https://github.com/frappe/books_docs/blob/master/transactions/multi-currency-invoicing#exchange-rate) widget.

::: info Fields using Company Currency The Base Grand Total and Outstanding Amounts are displayed in the company currency. :::

Printing
--------

After submitting, on clicking Print, the invoice can be printed in the customers currency.

Payments
--------

Payments entries are made in the company currency. The exchange rate set when submitting the invoice is used to decide the amount to be paid.

On making the payment the Outstanding Amount will be updated accordingly, and any rounding differences will be balanced using the [Round Off Account](https://github.com/frappe/books_docs/blob/master/miscellaneous/settings#general-settings).

Ledger Entries
--------------

Ledger Entries are created using the company currency. The exchange rate set when submitting the invoice is used to decide the recorded amounts.
