Capturing the exchange rate at the transaction level is a big step forward, but this is still way more complicated than it needs to be for people like me who just need to pay a few invoices each month that happen to be in USD. My bank works out the correct exchange rate when I pay the invoice, so I’m not making any kind of foreign exchange gain or loss—I’m paying exactly the correct amount in AUD each time. And yet Manager still insists that I manually tell it the ever fluctuating exchange rate every single time.
At least I can do that on the invoice itself now, instead of having to drill down into ‘Settings > Currencies > Exchange Rates’ every single time. That’s an improvement. But I still have to do the maths myself to work out what exchange rate my bank used and enter that manually into the exchange rate field. That’s madness. Make the app do it. It’s a computer program, it’s good at that stuff. All it needs is one little checkbox on the payment screen to do the calculation automatically. (I requested something like this 8 years ago.)
PS: It would also be great if the payment screen would put the invoiced amount in the USD ‘Currency amount’ field and not in the AUD ‘Amount’ field—another thing I have to manually fix on every payment.
