Hello!
I'm using heavily the currency transaction feature of GnuCash. As I
learned right now this has changed heavily from gnucash 1.4 (I'm
trying the actual CVS-checkout).
If I figured out correctly, the transfer account now does *not*
anymore have the "security" code. This is
- good, because you can ease the use of multiple currencies, as you
only have the need for one intermediate account.
- bad, as you are loosing an extra check formerly performed by
GnuCash.
I'm missing also the feature, which suppresses Accounts in the
selection popup, which can *not* receive a split from the transfer
account (as of accounting norms).
There's also a Bug (as of my opinion), when "value", "price" or
"shares" are re-calculated:
It happens (regularly), that a price and a value is given, but when
the shares are calculated it get's obviously rounded, the price is
modified by some sub-decimal-points, so is the value, and a new split
with some cents is created.
An example:
I have to register NIC 1054,64 at an exchange rate of NIC 12.7:US$ 1.
This would give US$ 83.042519685, GnuCash shows:
US$ 83.04 shares,
changes the exchange value to:
NIC 1,054.61
when I say it should change the shares in the popup and creates a
lone share of
NIC 0.03
if I re-insert the NIC 0.03 into the value and say "change shares" in
the popup, the exchange rate changes to
12.7004
Hope that there is a sensible solution to this,
Best Regards,
Jorge-León
