how to avoid or get rid of the transfer funds dialog

[Bram Mertens]

David,

Thanks for the feedback.
I couldn't check until now but as far as I can tell all accounts used in
this transaction are denominated in EUR.
I have 3 accounts in GBP: one asset account and an inbalance and an orphan
account. But none of these are used in this transaction.

I verified the currency by exporting my account structure to CSV, there
does not appear to be a way to display the currency in the account tree.

I'm using GnuCash 2.6.12 on Fedora 22.

Regards

Bram

Bram,

I don't think GnuCash would generate this pop-up unless one of the accounts
that you are trying to correct is denominated in USD rather than EUR.  You
would need to resolve that issue first, then see if you need to create a
new scheduled transaction.  If that is not your case, then tell us what
version of GnuCash you are using for a more detailed answer.

Hi,

When correcting a previously entered transaction I get a transfer funds
dialog prompting me to enter an exchange rate for EUR to USD.

As far as I can tell I've configured my gnucash file to use EUR as the
default currency and I see no indication why I get this dialog.

What I'm trying to do is change the amounts in an existing split (created
by a scheduled transaction) because this month's amounts deviate from the
expected ones.

As soon as I change one of the amounts of the split I get the transfer
funds dialog so I don't have the option to edit the corresponding amounts.

I ended up deleting the automatically created transaction and creating one
from scratch.

Questions:
- why did this transaction behave differently from a new transaction where
an inbalance simply creates a new item in a split?
- how can I resolve such issues in the future without deleting and
recreating the entire transaction?
- how can I avoid running into this?

Thanks in advance

Bram
