Is there any way to get a report showing amounts 'as entered'. That is, are all foreign transactions converted by those rules in aggregate, or is there a method for getting the actual converted amounts tallied? (for example, the exchange rate might vary enough from the beginning of the report

Hi, GnuCash stores the exchange rates in two ways: 1) In the transaction, it lets you record the exact conversion. 2) In the priceDB, it lets you input one price per day. When you enter a transaction like #1, gnucash will automatically create a pricedb entry for you. In other words, you do NOT

As Derek noted, this is likely not a bug, but an issue with your pricedb in your main file. I too lost the plot, and forgot that those reports can target which price to use for such cases. Your options then are to: 1. Play with the price target option 2. Edit, or delete the offending

First, yes, that warning is for when you try to delete the *Invoice*, not the payment. (same for Bills with Vendors) Second, as you may have noticed, inline images are not possible with this list, you have to attach them separately. Because of that, if you can, please give them some

In this data file there is a transaction that converts from 540 to 424. It sounds like that is correct. My only guess as to the reporting is that there are PriceDB entries in your real data file that are "incorrect" for the actual transaction days. In the data file you posted, there is only a

Apparently so! You can't delete the *invoice* but you can delete the payment. I don't ever recall anything different and I've been using GnuCash for 10+ years. Of course, you do get the confirmation for deleting the payment, but it isn't an error. Deleting the payment *should* 'unattach'
