Foreign transactions using the Professional, Time Billing or Miscellaneous layouts (only Item and Service layouts are currently supported).
Foreign currency accounts other than trade creditors, trade debtors, bank and credit card accounts
Foreign transactions with consolidated tax codes

Complete post-upgrade tasks
After your company file has been upgraded, there may be a few more things you need to do. Don’t stress though, you only need to do them once.
Combine supplier cards
If you deal with a supplier in more than one foreign currency, you would have created separate supplier cards for them. You now only need a single card for each supplier, so you can combine these cards .
Turn on Live Exchange Rates (optional)
Live exchange rates only works with online files and will update every 5 minutes and are provided by Open Exchange Rates. Turning on live exchange rates will replace any exchange rates you've already set in the Currency List.
Go to the Setup menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences window appears.
Select Turn on Live Exchange Rates [System-wide].
Click Got it on the confirmation message.
Set supplier credit limits
The credit limits in your supplier cards won't be upgraded. So after combining your supplier cards, you can set the credit limit for the supplier (the credit limit is in your local currency). Just go to Card File > Cards List > Supplier tab > open the supplier's card > Buying Details tab.
Additional upgrade tasks
Depending on the AccountRight features you use, there might be some other post-upgrade tasks you'll need to complete.
