Transactions involving different currencies

[rsbrux]

Dear John,

 

Thanks for responding.  I didn't even know it was possible to attach
screenshots on a mailing list.

I attempted to insert the text from a report of the transactions, but
couldn't figure out how to ensure column alignment in the post.

I'm trying to reproduce it here using HTML.
An earlier transaction created in GC 2.4 looks like this in the register of
the fund:

Trading:CURRENCY:EUR
 
 
 
64.58
        

The account "Assets:Current Assets:MP:PostFinance:Sparkonto" is in Swiss
Francs (CHF).  The amount of 10,505 represents 10,000 Euro at the exchange
rate in effect on that date. 
When I try to create a new transaction of this type in GC 2.6.1, even if I
duplicate the existing transaction, GC 2.6.1 creates an imbalance like this:

-63.8113

Assets:Current Assets:MP:PostFinance:Sparkonto
 
 
 
11,039.00

 
 
 
Trading:CURRENCY:EUR
 
 
 
64.58

 

In this case EUR 10,000 cost CHF 11,039.  GC 2.4 didn't do this to me, but
if I touch one of the previously created transactions, GC 2.6.1 insists on
adding an imbalance.

 

Thanks for your support!



Best regards,

Roger Brooks

Your screen shots didn't make it through the list-server. Maybe you can type
in a sketch of the transactions.
