My first attempts at looking up stock quotes (EUREX stocks in
"europe") failed. With some manual experiments I found out that the
Yahoo lookup is quite odd: searching for "DE0007164600" yields a stock
name of "SAPG.DE", while searching for "SAPG.DE" yields "716460.DE". I
guess gnucash cannot do anything about that.
So I enter "716460.DE" in the "Symbol/Abkürzung" (mnemonic) field of
the commodity definition. With that lookup works, but the value of the
account is displayed as "1234 716460.DE". I would like to see
something readable like "1234 SAP".
Is this possible, e.g. by telling gnucash to use the "CUSIP oder
anderer Code" field of the commodity for quote lookup instead of
mnemonic?
