By default, Dext publishes suppliers and items to Sage 50 in your account currency. To publish in other currencies, you need to enable the Publish multiple currencies setting in the Dext Connect App and turn on the Foreign Trader Module in Sage 50.
Before you start
Before enabling multiple currencies in Dext, you need to turn on the Foreign Trader Module in Sage 50. You can find instructions for this on the Sage support site.
Enable multiple currencies
To enable multiple currencies in Dext:
Open the Dext Connect App.
Select View next to the relevant company.
Select Integration in the bottom left.
Under Integration settings, set Publish multiple currencies to Yes.
How it works
When Publish multiple currencies is set to No, Dext publishes suppliers and items to Sage 50 in your account's base currency only. An item publishes only if its Currency field is set to your base currency. An item in another currency fails with an error such as "Publishing a document with currency (HKD) different than the currency of your Payment Account (GBP) is currently not supported."
To publish a foreign-currency item without turning on multiple currencies, change its Currency to your base currency and enter the amounts in that currency. You can note the original currency and amount in the item's Description.
When set to Yes, you can create suppliers and publish items in other currencies. Both the Publish multiple currencies setting in Dext and the Foreign Trader Module in Sage 50 must be active for this to work.
