I have some issue with some non-GBP transactions showing as outstanding if I look at
Business -> Reports -> Payable Aging. Business -> Reports -> Receivable Ageing. An amount of money appears to be payable on some transactions, despite I believe they are all paid. I have the following structure Assets :Accounts Receivable Assets :Accounts Receivable:Accounts Receivable (USD) Assets :Accounts Receivable:Accounts Receivable (EUR) Assets :Accounts Receivable is *not* a placeholder account, but a GBP account. This means there are non-GBP accounts under a GBP account. Is that a bad idea? I initially had Assets :Accounts Receivable (placeholder) Assets :Accounts Receivable:Accounts Receivable (GBP) Assets :Accounts Receivable:Accounts Receivable (USD) Assets :Accounts Receivable:Accounts Receivable (EUR) but got fed up having to select Assets :Accounts Receivable:Accounts Receivable (GBP) for 99% of the transactions. So now Assets :Accounts Receivable is a GBP account, and is selected by default. I'm wondering if my layout is fundamentally flawed, having a non-GBP account as a sub-account of a GBP account. I have the same issues on Liabilities: Accounts Payable. In that case there are USD and HKD accounts under a GBP account. I have the attached transaction showing as owing $0.98 to Porkbun.com. The number 0.98 happens to be the difference between what this cost in USD ($6.90) and what it cost in pounds (£5.92). 6.90-5.92=0.98. So I'm starting to wonder if my accounts structure is wrong, and I should make Assets :Accounts Receivable and Liabilities: Accounts Payable into placeholder accounts, If I have made a fundamental error, it would be good in GnuCash could spot these, and non allow sub-accounts like this. If I have not made an error, then I need to resolve why these transactions are appearing to have money outstanding, despite there is not. Of course, the next problem is, if I should indeed have messed up, whether it's possible to recover. The GBP side of these has been reconciled, so deleting the transactions is probably not a good idea. Maybe setting up new accounts is possible, and changing the accounts things are debited or credited to.
