Create an invoice with foreign currency

Now you can create an invoice with foreign currency in Conta. This is what you do.

Start by creating an invoice as usual.

If the customer has a foreign delivery address, you will now have the option to change the currency on the invoice. Select the invoice you want and you will be able to fill out the invoice as usual, only with the currency you selected.

Exchange rate

Once you have selected your currency, you will also see the exchange rate. This will always be based on the rates Norges Bank states every day.

Important about VAT and invoices abroad

As a general rule, no VAT shall be required for invoices sent abroad. These are exempt from VAT (read more about exemptions and exceptions for VAT here) and the VAT rate is automatically set to 0%. This will also be automatically reflected in your accounts when you create the invoice.

Register payments

When you register payments on a foreign invoice, there will usually be exchange rate variations that cause you to earn a little, or lose a little money compared to what the value was on the invoice date. This is handled automatically by the system and entered in your accounts.

Remember to also register any bank fees in the appropriate field.
