[GNC] How to handle recurring transactions with currency conversion

[William Prescott]

You can leave the amount blank on the scheduled transactions. Just put in the lines for the accounts. It will create the transactions on schedule and you just have to fill in the amount when you have it. I'm not sure if that is helpful.

Best wishes,
Will

We receive monthly payments from U.S. Social Security. These werre previously paid out in U.S. dollars (USD) but are now paid out in Swiss Francs (CHF).

I previously handled these with a scheduled transaction, since the amounts remained the same over at least a year, but this doesn't work anymore.

Since the income account is in USD, each deposit (to a CHF account) is now associated with a currency conversion rate determined ad hoc by the U.S. Social Security Administration.

Is there an elegant way to handle this, perhaps with a scheduled transaction having a constant USD amount and prompting for a conversion foctor, or should I just give up and create a corresponding income account in CHF and enter the transactions manually?

Is there an alternative solution that I haven't thought of?

Thanks in advance for any tips!
