Adjust paid invoice for currency exchange fees...

superdef

Hi all.
I'm an Australian user who had to bill a client in Euros. They paid the invoice, though the real world exchange rate was wildly different from the 'official' one Wave put on my invoice. I now have a discrepancy on my invoice.

I tried adding a negative line item for the discrepancy (-$409.60) on the invoice under 'currency exchange fees' but now that amount is showing is showing as 'unpaid'.

I found another post here: https://support.waveapps.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000472306-How-to-account-for-transaction-fees

...but unfortunately you can't edit PAID invoices in a foriegn currency within transaction menu?

It's all a bit confusing. Can anyone help?

SOLVED: I figured it out, in case anyone else is stuck:

I edited the invoice from the invoices screen, then meddled with the exchange rate until I landed on the amount paid. It's very backwards but it works. Then Wave creates a 'loss from foriegn currency' expense that appears in your P/L.

It's a bit messy but it works!
