Setting Up Dual-Currency Accounting for Algerian Hotels (DZD + EUR)


Algerian hotels serving both local and international guests deal with two currencies daily. Most software forces everything into one currency, creating reconciliation headaches at month-end.


The Problem with Single-Currency Systems


When a hotel receives EUR from a foreign guest and DZD from a local guest, a single-currency system forces a conversion. The converted amount is approximate. Over a month, these approximations compound into discrepancies that take days to resolve.


What Dual-Currency Actually Means


Dual-currency is not currency conversion. It is operational separation. Room types have separate base prices in DZD and EUR. Payments are recorded in the currency received. Reports show revenue in each currency independently.


How Diafa PMS Handles It


  • Room types carry separate prices for DZD and EUR
  • Rate plans have per-occupancy pricing in both currencies
  • Payments are recorded in the actual currency received
  • Financial reports break down by currency — DZD and EUR columns never mix
  • Rate calendar edits both currencies side by side
  • Monocurrency mode auto-hides the secondary currency for single-currency properties

  • The Result


    Monthly reconciliation takes minutes instead of days. Revenue visibility is accurate per currency. No manual spreadsheet calculations needed.
