[GNC] Have I got my USD accounts set up wrong?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Is there any way to get a report showing amounts 'as entered'. That is, 
are all foreign transactions converted by those rules in aggregate, or 
is there a method for getting the actual converted amounts tallied? (for 
example, the exchange rate might vary enough from the beginning of the 
report period vs. the end resulting in always having an incorrect report.)

Would employing trading accounts facilitate this with the currency 
splits existing in the transaction instead of the report having to 
estimate by one of those rules?

Regards,
Adrien

Last up through report date, closest to report date, and Most recent use the indicated date filter to select a price from the pricedb. The other two, Average cost of purchases weighted by volume and Weighted average of all transactions in the past calculate the price from the splits in all transactions in all accounts.
