Andrea, The simplest way is to reflect the transfer that Paypal made from your USD Paybal balance to your EUR Paypal balance in your books at the date they made the transfer. I take it you use asset accounts to record your Paypal transactions from your description but if you use Liability accounts instead just reverse the debits and credits in the following.
In that case just credit paypal:usd for US$5.56 and debit the paypal:eur account for the relevant amount in euros at the date Paypal made the transfer (Paypal will usually have the exchange rate somewhere in the massive CSV file if you download their activity statement). If you enter the USD and EUR amounts for the USD and EUR paypal accounts when you create the transaction GNuCash should generate a price entry with the exchange rate in the price database. At the end of the year close the paypal:usd to Capital:USD and in the new book create the new paypal:usd in the new book with an opening balance of USD:0.88 against the transferred balance for Capital:USD in your new book just as you would for any other asset. ----- David Cousens -- 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.
