balance broken

[Derek Atkins]

Note that a transaction touches multiple accounts.  The "currency" in
the transaction is the "common currency" of the transaction (because
when you are dealing with "apples" and "oranges", you need some common
exchange method between them (e.g. Dollars).

In this particular case your transaction touches accounts with GUIDs
3393b4c322cb03f741b897315442915b and 9d8b567ddf610fc2ca8d85e744640062.
What accounts are these two?  And what are their currencies?  You claim
that "the accound[sic] for this transaction is in USD" -- which account?
What about the other account?  And how did you create this transaction?

If the second account is denominated in EUR, does this transaction
affect the balance there?

I think I have an idea what is going on, but I need to know more
information about how you created this transaction and about the
particular accounts that this transaction touches, and how it looks
from _both_ accounts (you can use the 'jump' button to open the
register for the other account).

Thanks,
