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

[Adrien Monteleone]

David, I could be mistaken, but I think this is influencing your 
reporting problem. (if the A/P side looks like what you posted below 
concerning A/R)

I'm hazarding a guess that:

Assets:Accounts Receivable:Accounts Receivable

is in GBP, though you have no indication in the name.

If so, I'd rename it.

It is possible you don't even need it if that is your book currency. 
Just stick with the original Assets:Accounts Receivable, but you should 
verify that. (a single currency book, just has the one account)

Either way, I don't think those USD & EUR A/R accounts should be 
children of a child of A/R. (at least that is how your indentation reads 
below)

Make a copy of your book and test out if one of these does the trick by 
editing one bill and/or payment accordingly (you might be able to just 
re-parent the account(s) though:

Assets:A/R
--Assets:A/R (GBP)
--Assets:A/R (USD)
--Assets:A/R (EUR)

or perhaps more simply:

Assets:A/R
--Assets:A/R (USD)
--Assets:A/R (EUR)

Where each child is specifically set to those named currencies and the 
parent A/R is in your book currency. (assuming GBP here)

Your Assets:PayPal account tree has no bearing on the Business Features. 
They *should* just be generic asset accounts.

Regards,
Adrien
