Questions & Answers

1. I am getting an error Must use currency ‘$’ for ledger ‘Sales’ when passing a transaction with remote connection. Why does this happen?
   If the Formal Name defined in a ledger while passing a transaction is not the same as defined in the company selected, such an error message will appear. Make sure that the currency names match.
