balance broken

[Eildert Groeneveld]

Hello Folks
meanwhile I have had a closer look. The problem seems to be related with the 
wrong currency being stored in <cmdty:id>
The account is question is in USD and located as a subdirectory to an account 
which is in EUR. Entering a new transactions stores this as EUR in <cmdty:id> 
(see below). This is apparently ignored when the balance is computed. If 
changed to USD using the vi (possible thanx to XML) then everything is ok.

Now we only need someone to fix this problem.

Christian mentioned at some point that the currency of an individual currency 
could be specified. Is that so ? (then it would be a workaround)

greetings

Eildert


The accound for this transaction is in USD, however, the higher account is in 
EUR:
