Your QuickBooks customer must match the currency on the sale

Problem

You cannot sync sales to QuickBooks. You get this error:

Error 3140 : While trying to Add a(n) Invoice with order number of 3000021810, QB responded There is an invalid reference to QuickBooks AR Account "Accounts Receivable - CAD" in the Invoice. QuickBooks error message: The currency of the account must be either in home currency or the transaction currency.    

Description

Your QuickBooks customer currency code must match the currency code of the sale. If your QuickBooks customer was Canada, Joe2 and the order was CAD, the sync would fail. Canada, Joe2 has a currency code of USD:

If Canada, Joe2 ordered in USD on August 1st and ordered in CAD on August 2nd, the CAD sale will fail to sync. A customer may only order in one currency.

Solution

You must map an A/R account for CAD sales:

  1. Go to the Connex rules engine.
  2. Click add new rule.
  3. As the action, choose map A/R account.
  4. In the conditions, add these values: Currency Code, Equals, CAD.
  5. In the map to field, enter Accounts Receivable - CAD.

Rename the customer

In QuickBooks, double click the customer. Put a 2 before the name. Resync your order. Connex will create a new customer with the correct currency code.
