Re: [GNC] Wrong currency when recording a stock purchase
Thank you Adrien. The currency of the stock account is indeed the currency of the parent. The account hierarchy you are recommending is mandatory when holding muti-currency stocks with the same broker. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Wrong currency when recording a stock purchase
Looking at the price database dialog, it is possible to select and edit the currency for each price entry when manually entering or editing existing price entries. This reduces the problem to tracking down a cause if it happens with automatically generated entries.

Re: [GNC] Wrong currency when recording a stock purchase
If I recall correctly, the parent account of the account that holds the stock sets the currency. Thus if you have a brokerage handling stock in multiple currencies for you, you have to create placeholder sub-accounts under the main brokerage account just to segregate the stocks for each currency like so: Brokerage |_Brokerage:Brokerage-USD |_Brokerage:Brokerage-USD:StockABC |_Brokerage:Brokerage-USD:StockVOO |_Brokerage:Brokerage-CAD |_Brokerage:Brokerage-CAD:StockDEF |_Brokerage:Brokerage-CAD:StockXYZ Regards, Adrien > On Mar 9, 2020 w11d69, at 6:19 PM, Nelson wrote: > > 3.8 on Windows. > > So, I have a VOO stock type account.

Re: [GNC] Wrong currency when recording a stock purchase
Nelson, It is trivial to manually delete prices one at a time from the price database. Obviously the question is why it is in the wrong currency. Did you use a different computer, possibly with the Locale set to Canadian? Is there anything else that has recently changed?
