IRIS Elements Accounts Production Enterprise
Support for multiple currencies
You can now select which currency symbol to display on accounts reports when producing a new account. Once you have submitted the account, the currency symbol remains the same for the client's future accounts.
You cannot change the currency symbol for existing accounts, instead you would need to create a new client.
If you have an IRIS Elements Tax subscription, you must turn off the synchronisation between IRIS Elements Accounts Production and IRIS Elements Tax if you change the currency symbol.

You can select each section to go to a filtered view of Forms.
