[GNC] Multi-currency split

[Murugan Mariappan]

If you want the expenses to be entered in total in a single transaction, you will need to know the conversion rates for both your credit card usage and as well as cash.  the entries will then look like


 *   Dr Expenses: Groceries (USD): $ 40.27
  *   Cr Cash: XCD 18.30 (debit amount will be $6.78) you can use the same exchange rate given by the bank while withdrawing from ATM
  * Cr Credit Card (USD): $33.49 (as per your statement),


Finally, GNUCash need to know the conversion rates which you have to provide

In the example i sent

Grocery : XCD Account
Petty Cash: XCD Account
Credit Card: USD Account

Is this the same way you have structured it?

No.  Grocery and Credit card are both USD.

In your example you state that you are entering XCD 90.2  from credit card what is the counter entry you make in the credit card account?

In the XCD cash account,
I enter 90.02 with credit card as the counter entry.
I enter 108.30 with groceries as the counter entry.

The XCD cash came from an ATM transaction some days ago,
so GnuCash has an exchange rate between USD and XCD.
