Invoicing feature

Multi-Currency Invoicing

Issue invoices in MUR, USD, EUR, GBP, ZAR with automatic exchange rate conversion.

Last updated:

TL;DR — Issue invoices in MUR, USD, EUR, GBP, ZAR with automatic exchange rate conversion.

Issue invoices in any currency — USD, EUR, GBP, ZAR, or any custom currency. Codeblix records the foreign amount and the MUR equivalent for VAT purposes.

How it works

When you create an invoice, choose the currency. The exchange rate is set at invoice creation and recorded on the invoice. The system shows both the foreign currency amount and the MUR equivalent, which is used for VAT reporting.

Supported currencies

MUR, USD, EUR, GBP, ZAR, AUD, NZD, and any other currency. Add a custom currency in seconds.

Exchange rates

You can use the daily MRA rate, the Bank of Mauritius rate, or set a custom rate. The choice is recorded on the invoice for audit and on the transaction report for MRA compliance.

VAT reporting

Every multi-currency invoice is converted to MUR for VAT purposes using the recorded exchange rate. The quarterly VAT return shows MUR figures only, with a breakdown of foreign-currency sales.

Customer-facing display

The customer sees the invoice in their preferred currency. The MUR equivalent is shown for transparency.

Pricing

Multi-Currency Invoicing is included in every Codeblix plan at no extra cost. No per-currency fees.

Why this feature matters in daily operations

Multi-Currency Invoicing is most useful when it removes a repeated manual step from the business. For a Mauritius company using MRA-compliant billing, every operational shortcut must still preserve tax accuracy, invoice traceability, customer records, and audit history. Codeblix keeps the feature connected to the same customer, item, user, and reporting data used elsewhere in the platform.

This means staff can work faster without creating a second source of truth. Managers get cleaner reporting, accountants get better supporting records, and owners can review what happened without searching through spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages, or separate desktop files.

Setup and usage guidance

During setup, define who can use this feature, what approval rules apply, and what information must be captured before a record is saved. For best results, test the workflow with real examples from the business: common products, typical customers, normal discounts, and the edge cases that usually cause mistakes.

How Codeblix keeps it audit-ready

Every action should support a clear audit trail. Codeblix is designed so operational features support compliance instead of bypassing it: records are structured, permissions are controlled, and reports can be reviewed when the business needs to explain a transaction or reconcile activity.

Buying and rollout advice

Before choosing software for Multi-Currency Invoicing, ask for a workflow demonstration using your own type of transaction, not only sample data. The test should include the normal case, a correction, a credit note or refund where relevant, a report export, and the user permissions your team will actually use. This quickly shows whether the system is ready for daily work or only looks good in a short demo.

Also check support and onboarding. For Mauritius businesses, local context matters: VAT treatment, MRA fiscalisation, offline behaviour, document wording, accountant expectations, and staff training can all affect the success of the rollout. A good implementation should make these details clear before go-live.

Why Codeblix is a strong fit

Codeblix is built around the Mauritius compliance environment and the practical needs of small and medium businesses. The platform is designed to keep invoicing, POS, inventory, accounting, reports, and customer records connected, so owners can reduce manual reconciliation and operate with cleaner data.

The best result is a system your staff can use every day without workarounds. That means clear screens, reliable records, exportable reports, controlled access, and a support team that understands the local EBS requirements.
