Hello David We receive and pay for a multitude of currencies. This made life complicated for a small business so we decided to use a FX service - we use OFX because we managed to get to them in their early days and were offered a special continuing deal. However, there are quite

Since all of them are of type A/R and this isn't working with your current tree arrangement, I'd say you found a bug in the reports. You might want to file one and ask if you should separately file the same for the others. When you do so, create and upload a test file with just enough transac

Receivables and Payables are not tied to each other. So there is no concern with matching their respective set of currencies. (that is, you don't need an HKD A/R account if you never receive funds in that currency for an invoice.) Regards, Adrien On 11/29/23 5:02 PM, David Kirkby wrote: The

You can set your bank accounts nested however you want. GnuCash doesn't care as there is nothing special about such accounts. Gnucash *does* care about types Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. (regardless of what you name them) But exactly how these should be structured is still to be

Thanks. I saw that from the bug report. Please double-check all three of those and make sure they are of 'type' "Accounts Receivable". Regards, Adrien On 11/29/23 2:47 PM, David Kirkby wrote: This is what I have. I changed the name of one account, adding "GBP" as you suggested. ___

No, that bug needed to be filed. The documentation is lacking and that bug will help alert for the need, and allow tracking of the progress. And thanks for the tree screenshot. That clears things up for the other thread. Note, the Wiki FAQ does have a smidge of more information on this subje

I found the screenshot in your Documentation bug report. The question of a proper tree still stands, but at least I'm clear that you *aren't* currently nested one level too deep. (be careful when trying to transcribe your tree as it appeared you had an extra level in there!) Regards, Adrien
