Ok Jacopo, i will remove the invoice conversion service and will adapt the payment application screens and programs so it will be possible to apply a payment on another currency...however this 'other' currency should be available on the payment as an 'original' currency.
In order to be able to display as much as possible in the home currency the invoices will be shown (not converted) as using the exchange rate table but when available on the payment (original/actual amount) using that exchange rate (better a configurable option?) I will test then the ledger posting programs if i can get this to work. Thanks for your comments on this subject, surely this is a much better solution.
