Simon,

I asked these questions on Monday -- can you please answer them?

Can you show us the transaction in the A/P account?
Also, what do you have set up as the Commodity SCU in the A/P account and
in the expense account?
Something is clearly rounding the amount to .00, which implies somewhere
you have a commodity or account with a SCU of 1 instead of 1/100.

Thanks!
