Report expenses in a foreign currency
You can report expenses in currencies other than your workspace's default currency by following these steps. This functionality allows for accurate financial reporting when handling expenses incurred in different currencies.

After selecting the currency, a dialog box titled "Book in foreign currency" will open.
