FX entry question

[Joan Ghieuw]

Dear GnuCash Users,

(also posted this question in the GnuCash IRC Chat):

I have an FX transaction buy HKD sold USD. I entered first in the USD a/c. Since, the Reporting Currency is HKD, I input the FX 7.74 in the FX dialogue box. I entered the Transfer A/C to the HKD a/c. But, it multiplies the Amount 4x (four times). There isn't any simple straight screen snapshot illustration to teach user how to enter FX transaction. Maybe, it overlooked the fact that FX is the core concept in Investments and others. Another strange things happens, I couldn't see the opposite HKD transaction under the HKD a/c list of transaction. I had deleted the USD entry, trying to start from scratch. But didn't make the HKD reappear.

With best wishes,

Joan
