Dual currency and the BCV rate

Every entry in USD and in bolívares, with the day's BCV rate saved.

The problem: a rate that moves

Keeping books in two currencies means converting every transaction with a rate that changes often. When that rate is typed by hand into each entry, month-end fills up with corrections and cells nobody wants to review.

How we are building it

Every Spinelle entry records its amounts in USD and in bolivars, and saves the day’s BCV rate next to it. That way an entry can always be explained: which rate was used, on what date and what amount resulted.

The entry must balance, debit equal to credit, in both currencies.

What the pilot will define

Spinelle is in development. The harder cases of two-currency accounting are defined with the accountants in the pilot, not by assumption.
