gnucash reports

[Karel Chlebek]

Hello,

I wonder if someone can help me. I have some stocks in the USA, bought through a broker there, but my main assets are here in the U.K.

I set up some USD accounts for the stocks, opening balances and commissions. Each of these is also a child account of the appropriate GBP accounts.

Once I put all the figures into the accounts, the Accounts tab properly shows my UK assets and the USD assets converted to GBP at the current exchange rate. (I have the Price Editor set up for the stocks and the exchange rate.)

However, when I run a report, the USD values are given, but the GBP equivalents remain at £0.00, so the total assets and liabilities are wrong on the reports. I noticed that if I change the USD Opening Balance account and set its currency to GBP then I get monetary values where before they showing as £0.00. But the GBP amounts are wrong, because they are just the original USD amounts unaffected by any exchange rate.

Could someone please tell me if this behaviour is a bug, or have I set things up wrongly, or is it expected behaviour?

Thanks,

Karel
