[GNC] importing csv multisplit multicurrency problems

[Gio Bacareza]

Hi Pobox.Deva,

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll try that out. However my problem, I
think though I may be wrong, is not the price database but the importing
multicurrency transactions.

I even made it simpler. Pre-import, I calculated and populated the currency
conversions using just 1 exchange rate. I thought that by doing this I
avoid having to maintain a price database that could change on a daily
basis. Because this would mean the calculating the conversions prior to
import will require me to have a different conversion rate depending on the
day. It's possible but I thought it will take more work.

But I may be wrong. So do you think that fixing the price database will fix
the multi-currency import problem I am having?

Thanks.
