Balancing the balance sheet (multi-currency issues?)

[Egbert van der Wal]

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a balance sheet based on all the transactions 
I've entered.

The main issue is: the balance does not balance. I'm not exactly sure 
why this is. There's some Unrealised losses which seem to have something 
to do with it, but I'm not sure why and what they are.

Unrealised Losses does, exactly, match the difference between Assets and 
Liabilities & Equity. However, if they do, why don't they add up to the 
correct amount?

I'm guessing it has something to do with currency differences: most of 
my accounts are in USD, but we've made some purcheses in USD and AUD 
which are entered into accounts under expenses with the currency set to 
USD and AUD, respectively. The other end of the transaction is a account 
in EUR in which I've set up the exchange rate exactly.

Another weird thing is, when I'm generating the report, I can select 
some settings relating to exchange rates, but none of them is 'The one I 
entered when entering the transaction'. The one closest to this seems to 
be 'Closest in time' as the one I entered when entering the transaction 
should be closest in time, but this is confusing and unclear whether 
this is actually what I want.

How can I generate a balance sheet that has a total under 'Assets' that 
exactly matches the total at the bottom of 'Liabilities & Equity'?

Thanks!
