Hello All,

This is the first time I am posting, so if this question is already 
answered previously,  I'm sorry for the noise and please direct me to it. I 
did some searching but could not find it.

I live in India and the default currency I want to see reports in is Rs 
(Rupees). Payments to international service providers happens in $, and 
then on my credit card statement I see the actual amount I was charged in 
Rupees. Here are some example transactions:

2023/07/18 * OpenAI Invoice
    liabilities:vendors:openai              $ -14.83
    expenses:programming

2023/07/24 * OpenAI Payment Receipt
    liabilities:card:icici                  $ -14.83 @@ Rs 1267.82
    liabilities:vendors:openai

2023/08/08 * OpenAI Invoice
    liabilities:vendors:openai               $ -0.79
    expenses:programming

2023/08/15 * OpenAI Payment Receipt
    liabilities:card:icici                   $ -0.79 @@ Rs 68.36
    liabilities:vendors:openai

2023/09/13 * OpenAI Invoice
    liabilities:vendors:openai              $ -10.67
    expenses:programming

2023/10/03 * OpenAI Payment Receipt
    liabilities:card:icici                  $ -10.67 @@ Rs 924.11
    liabilities:vendors:openai

Here, OpenAI sends me an invoice in $, I make the payment on my credit card 
in $, and then I look at the credit card statement to see how much I was 
actually charged in Rs by the bank and note that amount down. 

The problem is that I'd like `ledger -X Rs bal liabilities:vendors:openai` 
to show that I owe 0 Rs to pay back to OpenAI, but it does not do so due to 
the fluctuating $ price. 

How do I do this? 

I've read the commodities and lot-prices sections of the manual, but 
perhaps I didn't understand them correctly. The changing rate of the $ is 
important information that I want to capture, but it's equally important 
that the liabilities:vendors account be balanced properly.

Thanks,
Vedang
