I have a situation I am not sure how to handle.
I have a EUR based company credit card. I charge a bunch of things to
this credit card in various currencies. The credit card is then
reconciled and I have an EUR amount for each charge. However, my
company actually operates in USD. Therefore at some later date, after
some bit of magic, I am informed of an aggregate USD number that my
expenses actually represent. I am trying to think of the least manual
work way of managing this. I have gotten to what is below, but I am
being hit by the fact that the exchange rate is not fixed at the end of
the transaction chain, therefore as new transactions accumulate the
expense amounts in USD change constantly.
; Simplest case
2016-01-01 Expenses
Expense:Food 7 EUR
Expense:Taxi 10 EUR
Liability:CC -17 EUR
2016-02-01 CC Payment
Liability:CC 17 EUR
Asset:Company -17 EUR
2016-02-15 Company notification
Asset:Company 17 EUR
Asset:Company $34 ; $2 = 1 EUR - bogus
I'd like my balance report (ledger b -X \$) to always show these
particular purchases as $2 = 1 EUR, even if later my company's internal
rate changes.
Any ideas?
regards,
bex
