Invoicing/billing in foreign currency.

[Wouter van Marle]

Hi list,

These days  I started playing with GnuCash 2.0.5, and found a very
serious problem (also found this in a 2.2.0 fc7 build; I'm running
Mandriva, just upgraded to 2007.1 version which includes GC 2.0.5).

When I post a bill in a foreign currency (Euro bill, my main currency is
HKD), it doesn't correctly display the amount in the Accounts Payable
account. This is a Euro denominated account by the way. All old bills
are still there and are correct. The transaction is there, just the
account is empty!

This is a total show-stopper to me. And I can't downgrade to 1.8 anymore
in this version of Mandriva due to obsolete gnome dependencies... that
version at least worked.

It's a complete show-stopper, this issue. NO idea what I'm doing wrong;
I changed the default currency for the vendor already, and for the rest
doing everything like I used to do in 1.8. Even unposting and reposting
a bill results in the amount being empty!

Posting bills and payments in HKD (the default currency) works fine.
That may be a workaround, but due to changing exchange rates that's also
not very convenient.

Wouter.
