    Hi Nicccc 


    While you can record direct payments (Receive Payments & Receive Money) into a foreign bank account, the Prepare Bank Deposit window doesn't have the ability to make payment into that foreign bank account.

     

    Ideally, you would be processing the transaction directly to that foreign bank account which would eliminate the need for that Prepare Bank Deposit.

    However, if that is not possible, what I would be doing would be recording a Recieve Money transaction to that foreign currency account as the Deposit to with the allocation being that undeposited funds account (see screenshot). This would generate a negative in the Prepare Bank Deposit transaction in the local currency. This can be ticked along with the other transaction to cancel each other out for processing:
