Multiple currencies

As an admin, you can define multiple currencies on your workspace and assign to a client the currency they are using. This way, client’s rates and amounts are displayed in their preferred currency.  

Defining multiple currencies is available for admins on all subscription plans. Assigning a specific currency to a client is only possible with a PRO or higher subscription plan, including trial subscriptions.

Follow the instructions below to add new currency, change the default currency and effectively manage client-specific currencies.  

To add new currency:

1. Go to the Workspace settings
2. Navigate to the Currencies section
3. Click Edit next to the Currencies dropdown menu

In the Edit currencies screen that appears, edit the existing currency or click on +Add currency if you’d like to create a new one. 

To change the default currency:

1. Go to the Workspace settings
2. Navigate to the Currencies section
3. Choose one of the available currencies from the dropdown

If there is a defined currency assigned to a client, and that currency is deleted, the default one is automatically assigned to it. The default currency acts as a fallback option when the specific currency is missing or unavailable. Default currency cannot be deleted.

To delete the defined currency:

1. Click X next to the currency you want to delete
2. Confirm the deletion in the screen that appears
3. Currency will be deleted accordingly

Assign currency to client #

In case you’re working on projects for clients that use various currencies, instead of using one currency on a workspace level for all your projects, you can assign different currencies to different clients.

For example: Client A is using US dollars as a currency and Client B euros. You can record project-related expenses in US dollars for Client A and in euros for Client B.

The currency assigned on a workspace level is assigned by default to all the clients available in the workspace. To assign currency to a client, you need to be an admin and your workspace needs to be on a PRO or higher subscription plan.

To assign currency to client:

1. Go to the Clients page in your workspace
2. In the list of Clients, locate the client you wish to edit 
3. Click on the Edit button next to their name 
4. Choose the currency from the search bar that appears with all available currencies in the workspace

Trial #

• After downgrade or the end of a trial period, all currencies are changed back to the default currency
• Subscription restores currency settings that were in place before the trial period

Currency is present in all client-related actions, from the client creation or editing, to the amount overview in the dashboard, project status and so on. If other than default currency is assigned to a client, it affects adding time entries throughout the app and Clients, Expenses, Reports, Projects and Invoices pages.

Clients #

By default, every default client gets a default workspace currency. 

Whenever the currency related to the client changes, updated currency values will be presented with the new one being marked as updated.

Adding time entries in Time tracker, Timesheet, Calendar, Detailed report #

Entry’s billable and cost amounts are calculated in default currency if:

• entry doesn’t have a project
• entry’s project doesn’t have a client

Entry’s billable and cost amounts are calculated in client currency if:

• entry’s project has a client with assigned specific currency 

For imported entries, currency is derived from the project. 

Currency is related to the client, not entry, so if the currency is changed on a client level, all entries assigned to those client’s projects will get a new currency. Also, if a project or a client related to that project is deleted, all time entries related to that project get the default currency.

Expenses #

In case currency is assigned to client, the default currency is still used when:

• adding a new expense category that has a unit price
• expense’s project is deleted from the workspace
• project’s client is deleted from the workspace

If client currency, or default currency changes, those changes will not impact the already existing records, only the future ones. 

Report #

You can filter out reports by currencies, or find a currency in the search bar at the top of the page.

Different client currencies are displayed in summary report, time and expense reports and exported formats.

Project #

The currency displayed in projects is the one related to the client. If there is no client on the project, the default currency is displayed.  

Invoices  #

Since all invoices are made for a specific client, the amount is displayed in client currency. If the client’s invoice is updated, the existing invoice is updated to that currency, as well.
