Auto Exchange Rate Retrieval in BooksToday

22 Mar 2026
One of the most requested features for BooksToday has been automatic exchange rate retrieval. We know that businesses often deal with customers and suppliers across multiple currencies, and manually entering rates can be both time‑consuming and error‑prone. That’s why BooksToday now supports auto exchange rate lookups directly inside your customer and supplier documents.

How it works

When you select a currency for a document or when you process bank accounts which are in foreign currencies, BooksToday automatically retrieves the latest exchange rate for you. The rate is applied to your transaction, ensuring that your reporting and balances are accurate without the need for manual updates. You can still override the rate if needed, but the default will always reflect the most current data available.
