different currencies

For international companies it would be great to assign a specific currency to a customer. As an alternative, a small currency-converter would also do.
Thank you !

Ok, so you would then bill them by a rate in using their currency and then have Time Master's invoice print that currency symbol instead, right?  Please correct me if I misunderstood.  I will add your request to our "wishlist".  Keep in mind that the invoice (headings, labels, etc.) would still be localized for *your* language even though you may be sending it to someone else, who may speak a different language.

This will be in version 3.0.  Unfortunately we cannot assign and use a default from the Customer file due to the "Auto Invoice" feature.  Since the Auto Invoice runs on it's own process (in the background), it would not be possible to address any errors when it tries to download the current currencies from Yahoo.  You will have to add it to each invoice and it will automatically get the current currency rate.  If there is an error (e.g. no internet connection) it will be able to alert you on the spot.

In addition, for those travelling around the world like me, it would be great to enter expenses in foreign currencies and then print your expense sheet in your own local currency. I spend dollars, pounds, rupees, rupiahs etc, but invoice all expenses in Euro's.
