There are a number of fields which are “descriptive” in one way or another, such that editing these fields outside Gnucash poses to risk to the integrity of the data. The developers know best which fields these are. A number of users have developed external means of editing databases (and I

Of course, one can edit the data using SQL (for a file stored in one of the database formats) or even a text editor (for an uncompressed XML file). Many do so.  But bear in mind that any edits made outside the Gnucash API may affect the reliability of your data set, or even corrupt the data.

Before installing 4.2, I tested with the sample file. It threw the errors as ya'll have indicated. I re-assigned all of the higher level asset transactions to Level 7, and while it still threw the error, it only did so for one iteration with option '6' and did not throw it for option 'All'.

Yes, I agree that the exchange rate has to be input. Whether you fetch the rate (also permitted by HMRC as I understand it) or input the rate manually it still has to be confirmed for each invoice when posting in Gnucash. Christopher Lam wrote >But it's crucial to input the exchange

Samantha, you can import invoice data. Thus, if you have a way to easily create that data in a spreadsheet, you can save it as CSV, then import them to GnuCash. See the Help/Guide about importing business data for the required columns. I'm not certain if it works well with a foreign currency

I’d find a “batch post invoice” function enormously helpful. I have a foreign currency client who insists on a separate invoice for each (sometimes inconsequential) amount and the multiple clicks to post the invoice and confirm the exchange rate for each one are time consuming. Currently the
