Different expense currency than main car currency#136

The ability to specify the currency of a specific expense (service, insurance, transport, …) than the “main” currency of a car.
Say you purchase a car in GBP, then import it into the EU and pay for other expenses in EUR. Then later on move to Switzerland and now you have expenses in CHF. It’s a bit of an extreme example, but it would be great if this could be accomodated.

As a cherry on the cake: Make foreign-exchange calculations back to the original currency of the car, while taking into account the exchange rate of the day of the expense.

Hi @Florian.gerlich , unless I’m misunderstanding you we already support this for a few currencies. See screenshots of me adding a cost to a service history file entry.

Please see image below of several costs in different currencies being added to the same history file entry as well as the calculated total based on your preferred currency which is adjustable in your account preferences.

Is this what you mean?

One improvement we do need to make is it always does the currency conversions based on the exchange rate within the last 2 hours rather than on the date of the history file entry. We can look to update this in the future if you like? We also should probably add some more currencies :)

Hello, it’s indeed already supported, sorry I opened this up. All good.

The option to change currency is absent. When I entered 3 history tasks I was given option to switch to USDs, but the totals are reported in pounds. In addition, when I added a 4th record, there are no currency options at all, just pounds. I am unable to change from pounds to USDs.

Hi @Jkolpen .

You can choose the currency which totals are display in across the whole app in your user profile. It will use that as your preferred viewing currency for things like totals and when listing on the history file page.
(You might need to refresh in the history file to get them to update if you change it in your profile).

Regarding History file costs and the other issue you are reporting, you should always be able to set and edit the currency of a cost being added to a history file entry. If there’s some reason why you cannot perhaps there is a bug? Any chance you could share some more information or let me know if the above helped?

Best,
Jeremy

Hi, I just checked and no currency option exists in my uder profile. I also have no option to edit currency, except for the 3 initial entries. NB. my log on is via PC as the app is not available in the Apple App store. I could end you some screen shots if that is possible. Thanks.

The options you identified are available via IOS but not via a PC? Also, the Custodian app does not exist in Apple Apps for the USA.
