I have clients that get billed in their home currency. I see what looks like multiple bugs in handling this in GnuCash, and so I think maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I have the following accounts in a test file where the default currency is CAD. Notes about each account's configuration in parentheses. Assets:Accounts Receivable (placeholder, currency CAD) Assets:Accounts Receivable:CAD (currency CAD) Assets:Accounts Receivable:USD (currency USD) Income:Sales (placeholder, currency CAD) Income:Sales:CAD (currency CAD) Income:Sales:USD (currency USD) When I create invoices and post them to accounts receivable in CAD everything works as expected. When I create an invoice and the Income Account is in USD, the summary at the bottom of the dialogue (Total/Subtotal/Tax) is listed as CAD but not converted. For example, if I have an item with the income account set to Income:Sales:USD, quantity 1, unit price 100.00, then the summary at the bottom shows Total: C$100.00 Subtotal: C$100.00 Tax: C$0.00. That's the first problem, but not very serious so I was going to just ignore it. However, the second problem is bigger... I'm unable to post the invoice to Assets:Accounts Receivable:USD. Since I'm billing in USD, and will get paid in USD, and the conversion to CAD won't happen until (or if) I deposit the payment into my CAD account, I should be able to track this in USD up until that point, but it doesn't look like I can. Have I missed something? Thanks!
