Doing business across borders? No problem.

With Multi-Currency in AscendTMS, you can invoice customers and pay carriers in currencies outside your home currency — while Ascend automatically handles exchange rates, conversions, and reporting behind the scenes.

Whether you're working with partners in Canada, Mexico, or beyond, Multi-Currency keeps your financials accurate, transparent, and easy to manage.

Begin by selecting the Settings tab found on the left side of your AscendTMS screen

Locate the Company Settings section, then select Configure Your Domestic and International Currencies and Units of Measure

For non US-based users, select your home currency by clicking the dropdown below Currency

At the bottom of the page, you can add currencies you regularly use.

Example:

Navigate to Customize Units of Measure

Choose a Currency from the dropdown — this will become the default for that customer or carrier.

💡 Why this matters:
When that entity is added to a load, the financials will automatically default to their assigned currency.

Simple. Clean. Transparent.

Multi-Currency permissions are managed at the Permission Group level, giving you full control over who can adjust exchange rates on loads.

Located within the Loads section of each Permission Group, you’ll find a setting called Allow Users to Update the Foreign Exchange Rate on Loads

This can be toggled on or off depending on the level of control you’d like to give your team.

With enhanced reporting, you’re not just seeing numbers — you’re seeing the full financial picture, including exactly how and when currency conversions were applied.
