For example, you have a company registered in the USA and sell goods on Amazon.com in US Dollars and on Amazon.ca in Canadian Dollars. In this case your home currency is US Dollars (USD) and additional currency is Canadian Dollar (CAD).
After you turn on multicurrency in QuickBooks, you will be able to assign currency to customers, vendors, bank accounts, credit card accounts, and accounts receivable / accounts payable.
