What you do not understand is that John Ralls and GnuCash recommend entering the total amount and the total number of shares and letting GnuCash calculate the price. THEN there is no error in the account running balance. This is not going to change. On Sat, Oct 7, 2023 at 8:07 PM Bruce McCoy via

GnuCash does **NOT** round prices to two decimals. Prices are always calculated to the full numeric precision of 1/2^64. Amounts and values are what get rounded to the respective commodity/currency's smallest unit. Since 15000 and 137741 have no common factors GnuCash will represent that as
