On the Brightpearl Help Center, explain how foreign currency sales and purchase orders are handled when multi-currency is enabled. Additionally, describe the primary purpose and key details available in the General Ledger Report, specifying where it can be found within Brightpearl.
Navigate to the 'Accounting' section of the Knowledge Center. Open the 'Foreign currency orders' article. Identify the rules for creating foreign currency sales and purchase orders and how currency precedence is handled. Return to the 'Accounting' section. Open the 'General ledger report' article. Identify the primary purpose of this report, where it is found, and the key details/columns it displays. Synthesize the findings for both topics.
State that sales and purchase orders are always created in the customer or vendor's currency, and this order currency takes precedence. Explain that if an item from a different currency price list is added, its row price is not converted, but the currency is simply changed. Mention that subsequent actions (invoicing, payments, inventory receipts) involve conversion to the base currency. State that the General Ledger Report is found under 'Reports > General Ledger' in Brightpearl. Describe the General Ledger Report as displaying all accounting journals with key details and being extensively filterable. List at least three key details/columns displayed in the General Ledger Report (e.g., ID, Tax date, Type, Account, Contact, Details, Order ID).
