That's a PITA, but I don't see another method I would have any confidence in. I did what you said, and moved the accounts. The one with the least transactions is the EUR account. After moving them I noticed two problems. 1) It is possible to post an invoice, let the customer pay it, then delete the transaction from the bank account. Nothing is stopping the fact that the invoice has been posted and paid. For GBP transactions it is not possible to delete it from the bank account unless the invoice is unposted. 2) The Profit and Loss account is giving both a EUR and GBP amount, but the line with €1,089.00 £933.27 has the EUR bit right, but the GBP is wrong. I just set up a fresh set of accounts as a demo incase I needed to file a bug report. I actually used USD and GBP, but I don't think that should make any difference. What I see is a) The P+L does not show a USD amount, but the GBP bit is correct. Sales (USD) £100,001.60 b) It's impossible to delete either a GBP or USD transaction without unposting it. With it impossible to create a reliable report, and possible to delete transactions that are posted, I obviously have concerns. I tried creating a new transaction, rather than unpost and post an old one. It is still possible to delete it from the bank account, despite it's posted. At least I have a year before I need to get them to my accountant again. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
